- Maybe he can. It appears, from my cursory (no pun intended) reading and
- somewhat limited understanding, that the RKM and and the rev of the System
- Software manual mentioned agree. The RKM is of course more complete and
- explicit, though more opaque.
-
- Anyway, the x and y escape sequences mentioned by Mr. Earl appearing in
- the USS manual do appear in the RKM, but under "Amiga Console Control
- Sequences," rather than under the ANSI section a few pages before. They
- set top and left offset in "raster lines" which I assume is the same as
- "pixels" which is how the USS describes it.
-
- The other sequence Mr. Earl mentions, <CSI>n;mH, appears to be as both he and
- Mark expect. Its description refers to n and m being row and column
- numbers--does this mean characters or pixels? Regardless, it wouldn't explain
- why the sequence is behaving any differently under 2.0, if it is being
- specified the same way. I presume there is some other difference in the 2.0
- console that is really the problem.
-
- Recommendation: Buy that RKM!
