I discovered that I had the set filec option turned on
which causes file completion when you hit the ESC key. When
I turned that option off, I was able to issue the sequence
I had in the last entry.
I am still interested though, in knowing how to issue
escape sequences inside the shell at the terminal. I have
openwindows for SPARC STATION 1+. In the console man page for
SUNOS 4.1, there are a series of escape sequences to do
cursor moves, new page, misc terminal stuff. I tried to use
echo to send these to the shell and the pseudo terminalo but
when I did, nothing happend. I also wrote a c program where
I sent a \033<sequence> in a printf statement and nothing
happend on the screen. Got any ideas
