VT100 control codes

I read somewhere that you can put vt100 control codes in your .plan file. What code do I use to make the output scroll back up one line, and how would I use this in my .plan, i.sig etc. Also, are there any ftp sites with this sort of info? Thanks, Nick

I don't have any .plans, but I am interested in getting my nose pointed towards general info about vt100 and pc ansi codes (and other vt variations and even rip graphics).
