I know this is a very basic question, but it keep haunting me for a while now. For example if I want to have my screen blank in a vt100 terminal then I know the sequence '<ESC>[5m' will do, but how do I enter that into a word processing or editing like 'vi' or 'pico' in unix? How do I enter it for DOS? Thanks for any information. I know the ansi.sys driver, and know how to use 'prompt' command to do the trick, but that's not what I want. I want to just create the effect into a file and then type 'type <filename>' or 'cat <filename>' and I should be about to see the effect. Xy
