Is there any way that I can run a program in an emacs shell buffer which 
manipulates the cursor via vt-100 escape sequences?  Emacs is apparently
grabbing the esc sequences and stripping something out of them so they simply
echo back to the screen without affecting the cursor.

I know that this sounds like a strange way of doing things, but I am trying to 
take advantage of emacs's capabilities, while at the same time allowing 
non-Lisp people a possiblity for creating and executing menu-build programs in 
some high level language like C or Fortran, using a few simple escape sequence
writes.

I'd appreciate any help in this matter!
