Would it be better to create a new manpage in section 5 to describe the TTY-37 control sequences in all their gory detail? You could call it tty37_control(5) or something similar. For comparison, there is a groff_out(5) manpage that you could use as an example. The benefit of a separate manpage for TTY-37 information is that any other commands that deal with these control sequences can have their manpages updated to refer to the tty37_control(5) manual. - Mark
