How can one, without writing DIRECTLY to the screen and without
using ANSICON, control the starting position of the cursor so that
output to the screen will occur at a specified position.
Maybe what I'm asking is "How does ANSICON control the cursor?"
I've looked through the PUP and DOS manuals without success;
where should I look next? Since the Z-100 supposedly acts like
a Heath 19 terminal (is this equivalent to a VT-52?), I presume
there are control codes which, somehow/somewhere, cause the
cursor to move. WHO/WHAT interprets these codes? Or are there
special parameters carried in registers to control the cursor?
Should I be looking for BIOS_CONFUNC or MTR-100 write-ups?
