   I am trying to find out if the ANSI X3.64 (1979) standard is still an 
accepted standard or if it has been superseded by some other standard...??
I also would like to know if this X3.64 standard is supported by DEC VT100 or
VT220 terminals or not?

   The ANSI X3.64 standard provides a general set of controls to accomodate
the foreseeable needs (in 1979!) for interactive terminals and printers.  This
includes control (escape sequences) for editing functions, screen formatting,
control of screen input areas and cursor positioning...

   Any information on this standard would be appreciated, specifically if it
is supported by DEC VTxxx terminals.... Thanks!
