VT codes?

I am not sure if this is what you are asking for but, take a look
and maybe you'll find something interesting. As far as the blinking,
what follows will do the trick. However, regarding your request for
increased font size, I forget whether the following mentions such.
Of the top of my head, you may be able to use #3 and #4 which will
double your font size (esc#3 blah.blah <cr> esc#4 blah.blah).
Good Luck.
For more information regarding various animation topic, please
ftp ftp.armory.com:/pub/user/hello or for those who have WWW access,
try http://www.armory.com/~hello/
I believe those are the sites. If not, well, EMAIL hel...@deeptht.armory.com.
Take care, good luck, and good bye.

ANSI ESCAPE SEQUENCES
=============================================================================
Wherever you see '#', that should be replaced by the appropriate number.
ESC code sequence Function
------------------- ---------------------------
Cursor Controls:
ESC[#;#H or ESC[#;#f Moves cusor to line #, column #
ESC[#A Moves cursor up # lines
ESC[#B Moves cursor down # lines
ESC[#C Moves cursor forward # spaces
ESC[#D Moves cursor back # spaces
ESC[#;#R Reports current cursor line & column
ESC[s Saves cursor position for recall
later
ESC[u Return to saved cursor position
Erase Functions:
ESC[2J Clear screen and home cursor
ESC[K Clear to end of line
Set Graphics Rendition:
ESC[#;#;....;#m Set display attributes where # is
0 for normal display
1 for bold on
4 underline (mono only)
5 blink on
7 reverse video on
8 nondisplayed (invisible)
30 black foreground
31 red foreground
32 green foreground
33 yellow foreground
34 blue foreground
35 magenta foreground
36 cyan foreground
37 white foreground
40 black background
41 red background
42 green background
43 yellow background
44 blue background
45 magenta background
46 cyan background
47 white background
ESC[=#;7h or Put screen in indicated mode where #
is
ESC[=h or 0 for 40 x 25 black & white
ESC[=0h or 1 for 40 x 25 color
ESC[?7h 2 for 80 x 25 b&w
3 for 80 x 25 color
4 for 320 x 200 color graphics
5 for 320 x 200 b & w graphics
6 for 640 x 200 b & w graphics
7 to wrap at end of line
ESC[=#;7l or ESC[=l or Resets mode # set with above command
ESC[=0l or ESC[?7l
Keyboard Reassignments:
ESC[#;#;...p Keyboard reassignment. The first
ASCII
or ESC["string"p code defines which code is to be
or ESC[#;"string";#; changed. The remaining codes define
#;"string";#p what it is to be changed to.
E.g. Reassign the Q and q keys to the A and a keys (and vice
versa).
ESC [65;81p A becomes Q
ESC [97;113p a becomes q
ESC [81;65p Q becomes A
ESC [113;97p q becomes a
E.g. Reassign the F10 key to a DIR command.
ESC [0;68;"dir";13p The 0;68 is the extended ASCII code
for the F10 key and 13 is the ASCII
code for a carriage return.
Other function key codes F1=59,F2=60,F3=61,F4=62,F5=63
F6=64,F7=65,F8=66,F9=67,F10=68
