+The following table of the ANSI X3.64 encodings is the result of some work I
+did a few years ago for BYTE magazine. BYTE made this table available for
+download from several bulletin-board systems, so I see no reason why it cannot
+be posted here for whatever private use you care to make. Just don't expect
+to make a profit selling copies of it without paying royalties to McGraw-Hill.
+
+Oh, by the way, the equivalent ISO standard is DP-6429.

+Fs is a Final character of a 2-character Escape sequence that is

+Format Effectors versus Editor Functions
+
+A format effector specifies how the final output is to be created.
+An editor function allows you to modify the specification.
+
+For instance, a format effector that moves the "active position" (the
+cursor or equvalent) one space to the left would be useful when you want to
+create an overstrike, a compound character made of two standard characters
+overlaid. Control-H, the Backspace character, is actually supposed to be a
+format effector, so you can do this. But many systems use it in a
+nonstandard fashion, as an editor function, deleting the character to the
+left of the cursor and moving the cursor left. When Control-H is assumed to
+be an editor function, you cannot predict whether its use will create an
+overstrike unless you also know whether the output device is in an "insert
+mode" or an "overwrite mode". When Control-H is used as a format effector,
+its effect can always be predicted. The familiar characters carriage
+return, linefeed, formfeed, etc., are defined as format effectors.

+NOTES ON THE DEC VT100 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+In the case of the popular DEC VT100 video-terminal implementation,
+the only mode that may be altered is the linefeed/newline (LNM) mode.
+Other modes are considered permanently set, reset, or not applicable
+as follows:
+
+ Set: ERM
+ Reset: CRM, EBM, FEAM, FETM, IRM, KAM, PUM, SRTM, TSM
+ N/A: GATM, HEM, MATM, SATM, TTM, VEM
+
+Control sequences implemented in the VT100 are as follows:
+
+ CPR, CUB, CUD, CUF, CUP, CUU, DA, DSR, ED, EL, HTS, HVP, IND,
+ LNM, NEL, RI, RIS, RM, SGR, SM, TBC
+
+plus several private DEC commands.
+
+Erasing parts of the display (EL and ED) in the VT100 is performed thus:
+
+ Erase from cursor to end of line Esc [ 0 K or Esc [ K
+ Erase from beginning of line to cursor Esc [ 1 K
+ Erase line containing cursor Esc [ 2 K
+ Erase from cursor to end of screen Esc [ 0 J or Esc [ J
+ Erase from beginning of screen to cursor Esc [ 1 J
+ Erase entire screen Esc [ 2 J
+
+The VT100 responds to receiving the DA (Device Attributes) control
+
+ Esc [ c (or Esc [ 0 c)
+
+by transmitting the sequence
+
+ Esc [ ? l ; Ps c
+
+where Ps is a character that describes installed options.
+
+The VT100's cursor location can be read with the DSR (Device Status
+Report) control
+
+ Esc [ 6 n
+
+The VT100 reports by transmitting the CPR sequence
+
+ Esc [ Pl ; Pc R
+
+where Pl is the line number and Pc is the column number (in decimal).

+The complete document describing the standard, "ANSI X3.64-1979:
+Additional Controls for Use with the American National Standard
+Code for Information Interchange," can be ordered for $13.50 (plus
+$4 postage) from

+ 1430 Broadway
+ New York, NY 10018
+ 212/354-3300
+
+It's best to read the full standard before using it. It also helps
+to have copies of the related standards "X3.4-1977: American
+National Standard Code for Information Interchange" (the ASCII
+standard) and "X3.41.1974: Code-Extension Techniques for Use with
+the 7-Bit Coded Character Set of American National Standard for
+Information Interchange."
+
+See also the chapter "Using Extended Screens and Keyboard Control"
+in the IBM PC-DOS manuals, especially for the coding for character
+attributes.
