    Is there someone out there that can help me...  I want to learn how to do
the screen animation.  I was wondering if someone could point me somewhere
where I could get a manual on the codes for the vt100/320 so I know how to do
what it is I want to do.  I have a project that I wanted to do and looked at
some of the control characters and tried to figure it out, but I just don't get
it.  That or could one of you masters out there who does make these things,
drop me a line and tell me how you do it.  Thanks.

Hey, I'm in the predicament you are. I want to know how to create animations
but no one seems to know the specifics. I recently got a rather crude ascii
animation file (through the mail) that was passed along like a chain letter
from an unidentified source through a friend. I have tried mailing it to myself
and editing it in various ways but I don't really understand the fundamental
nature of how it works. Do you know how to create ANY of the control characters
that make of the bulk of these animations? The files seem to have backwards
question marks indicating a control character(i think) but i don't know if
they are all the same or if some are different than others. I would appreciate
anything you have to say on the subject and i can mail you the one i have if
you would like to see it.

   Look in the manual pages for termcap and/or terminfo.  These should
tell you how to read the /etc/termcap and/or /etc/terminfo files,
which do contain the control codes for the different types of
terminals.
