Read Field-Selectable Color Configuration
The Read Configuration escape sequence (Esc ?) enables a PATHWAY
6530 to recognize a 6530 field-selectable color. The additional character
is an ASCII lower case letter e (65h) followed by a byte that specifies the
current color support available. The bit field definition follows.
Set Terminal Configuration (Esc v)
The Esc v sequence sets new values for the terminal configuration
parameters. The Esc v code is followed by a set of code/value pairs (as
listed in Table 3-5) and terminated by a CR character (0DH). You can set
new values for any subset of the configuration parameters. For example,
the following escape sequence sets values for the cursor type and the bell
column:
Esc v A0 B72 CR
If the new value you choose for the configuration parameter is invalid, the
new setting is ignored.
Note The code values k and l are operable only for the TS530.
