What do you need to support this? If you need it badly, maybe I can help...

I'm writing a terminal program for a Finnish company and they just gave
me the rights to sell it outside Finland. I might be able to incorporate
this feature in my program. It's too late to try to compete with products
like MacTerminal or VersaTerm, but maybe I'll find a market somewhere. (I
might try selling site licenses for a ridiculously low price or I could
sell the program bundled with a unix mail user interface.)

I have a "status line" similar to the MPW status display (on the left
side of the left/right scroll bar). I use it for the VT100 LEDs right
now, but it has plenty of room (not 80 chars though) and is perfectly
safe from scrolling/window changes etc. This terminal also supports
screen sizes of up to 32767 characters...so giving up one line from the
actual terminal window is also possible.

Summary: What's the escape sequence and what does it do?
