If you position the cursor to row 2, column 1, of an ANSI
terminal, and send the escape sequence ESC[@, is the cursor
supposed to remain on row 2, column 1 (ie over the newly
inserted blank character), or is it supposed to move down to
row 3 column 1?

Is there a document that describes the ANSI escape sequences
rigorously?  Can someone e-mail me a copy of there is one?

Thanks in advance.
