- I have a program that uses ansi escape codes for cursor positioning,
- screen clear, and highlighting. (specifically, the empire tools
- for old empire). I believe that the clear screen and highlight
- still work, but the cursor movement seems broken.
-
- It appears that the codes to place the cursor have changed from
- 1.3 to 2.x. 1.3 codes were
- cursor movement = esc[#;#H where the numbers are row and column
-
- Supposedly, you can use
- esc[#x for horizontal placement from left window border
- esc[#y for vertical placement from top of window
-
- Are these codes more explicit in the rkm than the 2.x manual?
- Where can one find the ansi x3.64 spec that is mentioned in
- the 2.x manual (section 7 pages 43-45 for my manual).
- I don't happen to have the 2.x rkms yet.
