You want "Programming with Domain/OS Calls", order number 005506-A00,
pages 5-61, 5-62.

There aren't a lot of control sequences that an Apollo pad will respond
to (pads are, by definition, not tty emulators). They are:

sequence          decimal       action
========          =======       ======
cr                  13          move cusor to start of current line
esc                 27          escape character
ff                  12          make following out start at top of window
                                or window pane
nl                  10          newline - following text starts on a new line
tab                  9          move cursor to next tab stop
bs                   8          move cusor left one char -- only meaningful
                                for fixed-width fonts
esc[line;columnH  6 char seq.   move cursor to specified line, col. If used
                                outside of a frame (ie. in a /bin/csh pad),
                                ignores line number and just moves to column
esc[0K            27 "[" "0" "K" erase line from cursor to end of line
esc[1K            27 "[" "1" "K" erase line from start to cursor
esc[2K            27 "[" "2" "K" erase entire current line
esc[0J            27 "[" "0" "J" erase chars in a frame from cusor to EOL
esc[1J            27 "[" "1" "J" erase from start of line to cusor
esc[2J            27 "[" "2" "J" erase entire frame

No other command sequences are listed that I know of.
