ANSI.SYS and NANSI.SYS Functions - ANSI x3.64
ESC[y,xH Cursor position y,x
ESC[nA Cursor Up n lines
ESC[nB Cursor Down n lines
ESC[nC Cursor Forward n characters
ESC[nD Cursor Backward n characters
ESC[y;xf Cursor position y,x (less frequently used)
ESC[y;xR Cursor position report y,x
ESC[6n Device status report (cursor pos)(n is constant 'n')
ESC[s Save cursor position
ESC[u Restore cursor position
ESC[2J Erase display
ESC[K Erase to end of line
ESC[nL Inserts n blank lines at cursor line. (NANSI)
ESC[nM Deletes n lines including cursor line. (NANSI)
ESC[n@ Inserts n blank chars at cursor. (NANSI)
ESC[nP Deletes n chars including cursor char. (NANSI)
ESC[n;ny Output char translate (NANSI)
When first char is encountered in output request, it
is replaced with the second char. When no parameters
are given, all chars are reset.
ESC["str"p Keyboard Key Reassignment. The first char of str gives
the key to redefine; the rest of the string is the
key's new value. To specify unprintable chars, give
the ASCII value of the char outside of quotes, as a
normal parm. IBM function keys are two byte strings.
Ex: ESC[0;";dir a:";13;p
redefines F1 to have the value "dir a:" followed by CR.
If no parameters given, all keys are reset to their
default values. Single or double quotes are valid.
ESC[n;n;...nm Set Graphics Rendition is used to set attributes as
well as foreground and background colors. If multiple
parameters are used, they are executed in sequence, and
the effects are cumulative. 'n' is one of the following
attributes or colors:
0 All attributes off 5 Blink
1 Bold 7 Reverse Video
2 Dim 8 Invisible
4 Underline
Foreground colors Background colors

1 text 40x25 Color
2 text 80x25 Black & White
3 text 80x25 Color
