Use Mark Williams C system under TOS.  It feels like UNIX.

from stvdu.c:

  switch (c) {
  case 'A': /* CUU: cursor up */
...
  case 'l': /* RM: reset mode */
  case 'h': /* SM: set mode */
	if (v->next[0] == '?' && v->next[1] == '5' && v->mono)
		VIDEO->vd_rgb[0] = c == 'l' ? RGB_BLACK : RGB_WHITE;
	return;
