I have a program that I wish to have some escape sequences
defined and used.  The escape sequences will work on a 
VT emulation terminal I am using.  

For instance, I want to place the cursor at the top left
corner of my terminal screen with ESC//'[01;01H'.
This works in FORTRAN by defining the 
 
   ESC = CHAR(27)
   TOPL = ESC//'[01;01H'

When a FORTRAN type statement is issued, the cursor moves to the 
top left portion of the screen.

Is it possible to do this in C and if so, how is the 
sequence defined and used ???

Thanks
