I too would like to see a list of the escape sequences for the ST's VT52
emulator (aka ST52). It may not be exactly a VT52, but it may have a lot
of advantages over a straight VT52 after all (color graphics?!).
I might mention that I found out about these escape sequences accidentily.
I log on to a Unix VAX that has an imperfect command completion shell. Once
in a while, when I hit the Esc key to get command completion, I also have my
background/foreground/cursor colors change. The only way I can fix it is
to reboot. Anybody else had this or similar problems?
