IBM "escape" sequences may be semi ANSI compatible, but they aren't "really" ANSI. So the question needs to be asked "What does the sequence do on *what*?" From what docs I have, <ESC>[= is used for video mode commands. But all the IBM supported ones are of the form <ESC>[=#h or <ESC>[#l Yours is <ESC>[=#;#C so whatever it is, it is *not* an IBM sequence. It may do something under NANSI or one of the other extended ANSI programs. More likely it is a *real* ANSI sequence, in which case I would suggest contaxting ANSI directly. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.uucp personal: CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com business: CIS: [76376,1107] 76376.1107@compuserve.com
