Most modern programs don't generate escape sequences. Those that manage a text-mode screen in a pseudo-graphical way do, e.g. emacs, do, though. Those escape sequences are for screen management and not at all for human consumption. They're integral to how the program works but there's no point in trying to understand them. To learn a program like Emacs, you need to pay attention to how it manages the screen rather than intercept and try to interpret those escape sequences. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
