  In the 1990s a computer terminal standard
"AlphaWindows" was proposed by the
 Display Industry Association (DIA). Sort of X-Windows for the poor.

 Does anyone have a manual with escape sequences for one of the terminals
 mentioned? Or other material describing this protocol? 
It so happens that I do have a copy of the standard.  I
suppose I'm one of only a few who paid the $99 to DIA
to get a copy.  Back in the early '90s I started writing an
implementation for the Mac, but ended up not getting
very far before other projects pushed it down onto the
stack.  I'll see what I can do about scanning it for you.
