Subject: Vt100 & ANSI codes

Hwi there,
	Really sorry to post a non-Pine question (sort of), but no-one on 
the Usenet seems to be willing to help me...

	I need some documentation on VT100 and ANSI escape codes 
including curur positioning and colours, etc, and would be very grateful 
if someone could mail me any info that they have. Thanks.

	Secondly; Pine and ANSI. Is there any way of getting Pine to 
display messages with something like More, for example so that messages 
including cursor postioning information could be displyed correctly (e.g. 
for ANSI animations). I know that you can save out the message, stip off 
the headers and then view it with More, but it would be nice to be able 
to do it all from within Pine...

		Charuuba!

David,

What you need to find is a VT100 programmer's manual.  They are getting 
pretty hard to find, but there is bound to be someone over there who has 
a dusty copy on their bookshelf...

The next version of Pine will have a Pipe command, but it will feed back into
the same scrolltool() routine.  If you have mutiple screens (physical or
virtual) you should be able to come up with a clever way to make it work
though... 

Thanks for the requests!
