  No.  It allows you to use more than 64K of RAM and makes it easier to
  use other USER numbers.

X3.64 does not do graphics like circles and diagonal lines and such.
It does define how to invoke color text.  ("$" below means the ESC char)
  $[30m = use black text	$[40m = use black background
  $[31m = use red text		$[41m = use red background
  $[32m = use green text	$[42m = use green background
  $[33m = use yellow text	$[43m = use yellow background
  $[34m = use blue text		$[44m = use blue background
  $[35m = use magenta text	$[45m = use magenta background
  $[36m = use cyan text		$[46m = use cyan background
  $[37m = use white text	$[47m = use white background.

If your screen normally has white text on a black background, you can
make it inverse video by using either "$[7m" or "$[30;47m".  For other
escape sequences, check the manual on any VT100 compatible terminal.
