<TITLE>ANSI.SYS -- ansi terminal emulation escape sequences</TITLE>
 
                                  ANSI.SYS
 
Defines functions that change display graphics, control cursor movement, and
reassign keys. The ANSI.SYS device driver supports ANSI terminal emulation
of escape sequences to control your system's screen and keyboard. An ANSI
escape sequence is a sequence of ASCII characters, the first two of which
are the escape character (1Bh) and the left-bracket character (5Bh). The
character or characters following the escape and left-bracket characters
specify an alphanumeric code that controls a keyboard or display function.
ANSI escape sequences distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters;
for example,"A" and "a" have completely different meanings.
 
 
Parameters used in ANSI escape sequences
 
Pn
    Numeric parameter. Specifies a decimal number.
 
Ps
    Selective parameter. Specifies a decimal number that you use to select
    a function. You can specify more than one function by separating the
    parameters with semicolons.
 
PL
    Line parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the
    lines on your display or on another device.
 
Pc
    Column parameter. Specifies a decimal number that represents one of the
    columns on your screen or on another device.
 
ANSI escape sequences for cursor movement, graphics, and keyboard settings
 
In the following list of ANSI escape sequences, the abbreviation ESC
represents the ASCII escape character 27 (1Bh), which appears at the
beginning of each escape sequence.
 
ESC[PL;PcH
    Cursor Position: Moves the cursor to the specified position
    (coordinates). If you do not specify a position, the cursor moves to the
    home position - the upper-left corner of the screen (line 0, column
    0). This escape sequence works the same way as the following Cursor
    Position escape sequence.
 
ESC[PL;Pcf
    Cursor Position: Works the same way as the preceding Cursor Position
    escape sequence.
 
ESC[PnA
    Cursor Up: Moves the cursor up by the specified number of lines without
    changing columns. If the cursor is already on the top line, ANSI.SYS
    ignores this sequence.
 
ESC[PnB
    Cursor Down: Moves the cursor down by the specified number of lines
    without changing columns. If the cursor is already on the bottom line,
    ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence.
 
ESC[PnC
    Cursor Forward: Moves the cursor forward by the specified number of
    columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the
    rightmost column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence.
 
ESC[PnD
    Cursor Backward: Moves the cursor back by the specified number of
    columns without changing lines. If the cursor is already in the leftmost
    column, ANSI.SYS ignores this sequence.
 
ESC[s
    Save Cursor Position: Saves the current cursor position. You can move
    the cursor to the saved cursor position by using the Restore Cursor
    Position sequence.
 
ESC[u
    Restore Cursor Position: Returns the cursor to the position stored
    by the Save Cursor Position sequence.
 
ESC[2J
    Erase Display: Clears the screen and moves the cursor to the home
    position (line 0, column 0).
 
ESC[K
    Erase Line: Clears all characters from the cursor position to the
    end of the line (including the character at the cursor position).
 
ESC[Ps;...;Psm
    Set Graphics Mode: Calls the graphics functions specified by the
    following values. These specified functions remain active until the next
    occurrence of this escape sequence. Graphics mode changes the colors and
    attributes of text (such as bold and underline) displayed on the
    screen.
 
    Text attributes
       0    All attributes off
       1    Bold on
       4    Underscore (on monochrome display adapter only)
       5    Blink on
       7    Reverse video on
       8    Concealed on
 
    Foreground colors
       30    Black
       31    Red
       32    Green
       33    Yellow

    Parameters 30 through 47 meet the ISO 6429 standard.
 
ESC[=psh
    Set Mode: Changes the screen width or type to the mode specified
    by one of the following values:
 
       0      40 x 148 x 25 monochrome (text)
       1      40 x 148 x 25 color (text)
       2      80 x 148 x 25 monochrome (text)
       3      80 x 148 x 25 color (text)
       4      320 x 148 x 200 4-color (graphics)
       5      320 x 148 x 200 monochrome (graphics)
       6      640 x 148 x 200 monochrome (graphics)
       7      Enables line wrapping
      13      320 x 148 x 200 color (graphics)
      14      640 x 148 x 200 color (16-color graphics)
      15      640 x 148 x 350 monochrome (2-color graphics)
      16      640 x 148 x 350 color (16-color graphics)
      17      640 x 148 x 480 monochrome (2-color graphics)
      18      640 x 148 x 480 color (16-color graphics)
      19      320 x 148 x 200 color (256-color graphics)
 
ESC[=Psl
    Reset Mode: Resets the mode by using the same values that Set Mode
    uses, except for 7, which disables line wrapping. The last character
    in this escape sequence is a lowercase L.
 
ESC[code;string;...p
    Set Keyboard Strings: Redefines a keyboard key to a specified string.
    The parameters for this escape sequence are defined as follows:
 
      Code is one or more of the values listed in the following table.
      These values represent keyboard keys and key combinations. When using
      these values in a command, you must type the semicolons shown in this
      table in addition to the semicolons required by the escape sequence.
      The codes in parentheses are not available on some keyboards.
      ANSI.SYS will not interpret the codes in parentheses for those
      keyboards unless you specify the /X switch in the DEVICE command for
      ANSI.SYS.
 
      String is either the ASCII code for a single character or a string
      contained in quotation marks. For example, both 65 and "A" can be
      used to represent an uppercase A.
 
IMPORTANT:  Some of the values in the following table are not valid for all
            computers. Check your computer's documentation for values that
            are different.
