Unlike GEM
output any character for which there is image data, the con­
sole device screen emulates a DEC VT-52 display terminal,
and treats the ASCII characters from 0 to 31 as nonprinting
control characters. This means that it interprets the ASCII
character 13 as a carriage return, an instruction to move the
cursor to the beginning of the line, rather than as a character
that should be printed. There are a number of VT-52 escape
codes to which the console device responds. These escape
sequences are strings of characters beginning with the ASCII
character 27 (Esc), followed by one or more text characters.
The VT-52 codes to which BconoutQ responds are:
Esc A
Esc B
Esc C
Esc D
Esc E
Esc H
Esc I
Esc J
Esc K
Esc L
Esc M
Esc Y
