This mode prevents scrolling of the screen once it is full until the "scroll" key is hit or the above sequence is received. The sequence [ turns the hold screen mode on. No doubt EDT sends this before a lot of it's control sequences to ensure that the mode has not been accidentally set. I have a working VT52 emulator which I wrote running on a PC so if you have any other queries I would be happy to try to answer them. Hope this is of some use to you!
