Hmmm. I've spent 30 minutes searching for what control sequences the NC's terminal program supports, and you're right. It seems to be a closely guarded secret. I might look for the source code. ;)

The NC laptops were early-1990s machines, so I'd have expected them to support ANSI <esc>[ sequences, and would expect <esc>[1m to select bold, etc. But it probably doesn't. :cry:
Hi Both,
Thanks for the help, I would have assumed ANSI support too, but no it doesn't support ANSI ony Extended IBM and X-Modem CRC for transfers. The BBC Basic VDU codes only work in BBC Basic on the machine, not in the built in terminal...although I assume if a terminal program was running from within BBC Basic that may work. I hooked it up to the beeb last night cobbled together this:

Code:

10 *FX7,6:*FX8,6:*FX3,2320 FOR I%=0 to 25630 FOR J%=0 TO 25640 PRINT CHR$(I%)+CHR$(J%);50 PRINT " TEST:";I%;",";J%;" ";60 IF J%MOD25=0 A=INKEY(150)70 NEXT J%80 NEXT I%
Which I *think* sends every combination of 2 charater ASCII codes and it looks like the only attribute the terminal supports is Bold. :(
