     Without benefit of a vt100 programmer's reference, we've been trying
to locate as complete a list of control sequences for vt52/100/102's.
This list here was compiled from the lists we could find.  Most notably
Rob Elliott's 'Selected ANSI Escape codes'; the Villanova list; and the
ANSI_X3.64-tables-from-BYTE list.  We'd much rather have a reference manual,
but if anyone can tell us what's missing or incorrect in this list, it
would be greatly appreciated.

Even if you had one, it wouldn't list them all.  A couple of examples:
(Genuine vt100, imitators probably get them wrong.  (Dec never was good
at imitating their own terminals.))

Esc [ 2 ; 8 y	Wait for poweroff.
Esc [ 2 ; 15 y	Flashing background mode.  Also puts terminal in local.

Also, many sequences produced different results at different speeds.
The original VT100 terminal has many undocumented modes such as 24
duplicate lines, linefeed goes up, etc.
