- Thanks to the several people who suggested ANSI escape sequences,
- issued via putch(), to take control of a text-mode screen. As usual
- it's obvious after the fact.
- Fortunately I have an old IBM DOS technical manual lying around
- that describes the ANSI sequences, since a search of C-Set/2 and
- WorkFrame2 documentation, both online and hardcopy, failed to turn
- them up. But that may be my fault. There's a high art in picking the
- right keyword, whether for hardcopy indices or "kwikinf". The "ANSI"
- keyword seems to be used up in promising ANSI-C conformance in the
- compiler.
