I recall a terminal that could not position the cursor to a specific spot on
the screen (directly), because the control/escape sequence used a particular
sequence followed by a control character pair to designate a row/column to
go to, and row or column 19 decimal designated by control-S caused the
terminal to hold.... even if you did it in local mode from the keyboard :)
I can't remember if the terminal that has this problem was an old ADDS
viewpoint, or if it was one of the microterm ACT terminals. I do remember it
was fixed in a shortly released firmware upgrade.
I have an ADDS A2 I should try this out on. I also have two different models
of micro-term ACT units. By the way, did anyone see what a microterm "ACT I"
is going for on ebay? I should sell mine :)
