Has anyone been able to get the printer transparent mode working in
the Windows 3.0 terminal programme?  It's documented in the table of
terminal commands of the windows manual, but I can't get it to work.

	ESC [ 5 i	Enter transparent mode
	ESC [ 4 i 	Exit transparent mode

Transparent mode allows output coming from the host to go to the
printer without being displayed on the terminal.  This was working
fine on a real terminal that allowed these ANSI sequences.

If it's broken then does anyone know of a windows terminal programme
where this feature works?  Clicking on "Printer echo" is not
applicable in this case.
