[lug] Docs on terminal hacking?

Thanks Ken,

  It looks like the control codes are not a complete match.  But I
have got my little clock test script working now.  I guess it just

(Note 'G' instead of 'C'.  Also, 'H' apparently isn't supported. )


#! /bin/sh

RES_COL=20
RES_ROW=30

clear
while [ true ]
do
    spam=`date`
    clear
    /bin/echo -en \\033[${RES_ROW}G
    /bin/echo -en \\033[${RES_COL}B
    /bin/echo -n ${spam}
    sleep 1
done
