Since I've seen this before, I can offer a _small_ amount of help.  I've
a document documenting the escape sequences for xterm, the X11 vt100
emulator.  Since I've written a fairly complete NextStep terminal
emulator, I know that the codes are right, and most of them are there
(well, I've not exhaustively covered it :-] ).  I'd be willing to
mail this document or make it ftp'able.  It's about 7k compressed
(figure in that 33% for uuencoding if mailed), and is about six
pages long, in .ms format.
