Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] Highliting in an editor
This information used to be in older Reflections manuals. But I just looked
and I can not find it in any of the version 8 manuals or help files.
These escape sequences were permanently burnt into my brain so long ago that
I have not needed to look them up in years. I find it disturbing the lack of
them in newer manuals may be depriving younger programmers of the joys of
programming escape sequences directly. Heck - as an old curmudgeon I believe
any new programmer should be forced to write directly in machine code for at
least a month :-)

which IS the proper place for these sequences to be documented: it's the
terminal (emulator) that responds to the sequence by modifying the display.
So, in addition to the good old 2640 manual (sorry, I'm only 50), try the
2645 manual, any Reflection manual, QCTerm's help (I'm guessing!).
Btw, do these seq's work on laserjets?
