Each of the "ANSI" Escape sequences recognized by ANSIPLUS is listed in the table below with a link to its detailed description. In the table, " # " represents any numeric parameter and " Esc " is the Escape character (decimal 27, hexadecimal 1Bh). Because ANSIPLUS has so many different escape sequences, they have been grouped by six major function categories: display mode and character set, cursor positioning, color selection and definition, erase, insert, delete and fill, scrolling and driver status and control
ANSIPLUS uses a number of added control parameters and includes entire new control functions that are not part of the ANSI X3.64 standard or the MS-DOS ANSI.sys driver, so do not expect them to be supported by any other drivers or devices. The following added ANSIPLUS functions are not standard ANSI:
| Esc [!#t | Select character set height |
| Esc [!#;...#e | Select graphics mode text treatment options |
| Esc [!#v | Select video page |
| Esc [!#;#;#;#;#c | Define colors available, select palette, setup blinking |
| Esc [!#;#L | Insert lines from scroll-back |
| Esc [!#;#M | Delete lines and add to scroll-back |
| Esc [!#;#;#;#;#S | Scroll up and add to scroll-back |
| Esc [!#;#;#;#;#T | Scroll down from scroll-back |
| Esc [!#;...#d | Enable or disable ANSIPLUS driver features |
| Esc [!#;...#g | Define Ctrl +G beep tone |
| Esc [!#;...#k | Add keys to keyboard buffer |
| Esc [!#w | Wait for specified time to elapse |
The following ANSI control sequences accept both standard ANSI parameters and extra ANSIPLUS parameters, but are not included in MS-DOS ANSI.sys:
| Esc [#;#g | Reset tabs |
| Esc [#;...#W | Tab control |
| Esc [#;#X | Erase characters on the current line |
| Esc [#;#L | Insert lines on the screen |
| Esc [#;#M | Delete lines from the screen |
| Esc [#;#@ | Insert characters on a line |
| Esc [#;#P | Delete characters from a line |
| Esc [#;#;#;#;#S | Scroll up |
| Esc [#;#;#;#;#T | Scroll down |
| Esc [#;#;#;#;# @ | Scroll left |
| Esc [#;#;#;#;# A | Scroll right |
| Esc [#;#;#;#r | Set scrolling region |
The following are standard ANSI terminal control sequences that are not included in MS-DOS ANSI.sys:
| Esc [#U | Select next page |
| Esc [#V | Select preceding page |
| Esc [#E | Move cursor to next line |
| Esc [#F | Move cursor to preceding line |
| Esc [#G | Move cursor to absolute column in same line |
| Esc [#a | Move cursor to absolute line in same column |
| Esc [#I | Horizontal tab |
| Esc [#Y | Vertical tab |
| Esc [#Z | Backward tab |
| Esc [#b | Repeat last output character |
The following control sequences, which are also included in ANSI.sys, accept both standard ANSI parameters and extra ANSIPLUS parameters:
| Esc [#;#h | Set video mode |
| Esc [#;#s | Save cursor position or other driver context |
| Esc [#;#u | Restore cursor position or other driver context |
| Esc [#;#J | Clear the screen |
| Esc [#;#;#K | Clear the current line |
| Esc [#;...#m | Select current color attributes for output characters |
| Esc [#;#n | Query ANSIPLUS status: cursor position, colors, etc. |
| Esc [#;...#p | Define key reassignment |
The following are ANSI sequences that are in both MS-DOS ANSI.sys and ANSIPLUS:
| Esc [#A | Move cursor up |
| Esc [#B | Move cursor down |
| Esc [#C | Move cursor right |
| Esc [#D | Move cursor left |
To simplify program generation of control sequences, the ANSIPLUS escape sequence recognizer syntax has been relaxed:
Blanks between parameters in escape sequences are ignored. Note, however, that a blank space immediately before the ANSI command letter may be significant. For example, Esc [A moves the cursor up, while Esc [ A scrolls the screen left;
Commas are allowed as separators in addition to semicolons;
Either single or double quotes may be used around character parameters;
Parameter values over 255 (i.e., up to 65,535) are accepted for certain commands. Plus and minus signs are also accepted.
Unrecognized escape sequences are passed through by the driver unaltered. With a few exceptions, the Esc character is trapped only when followed by a left bracket ("["), so programs that write the escape character (a left arrow) to the screen will continue to do so after the driver is installed. The exceptions are Esc E, Esc H and Esc J, which are all ANSI standard.
