That would be the ANSI *escape* sequences, not the keyboard sequences. The keyboard is, in fact, a full VT100 keyboard, but the GIGI doesn't recognize all of the VT100 escape sequences. The GIGI also has a built-in BASIC interpreter and can therefore be used as a standalone microcomputer in the manner of the TRS-80 Model I. -- =============================================================================== Roger Ivie 35 S 300 W Logan, Ut. 84321 (801) 752-8633 ===============================================================================
