I'm using an IBM clone with a VGA color monitor as a terminal with vt100 emulation for an unix machine. If I cat a binary file to the screen, I would see all sorts of things happenning, such as color changing, high lighting, cursor jumping or moving, even different sounds, etc. etc.. I just want to know the table showing what control charaters or sequence of charaters cause what effect on the screen. I looked at the manual coming with the clone, but could not find any information about this. Thanks for any help. -ping
