Cursor positioning
The ESC Y code was used to position the cursor anywhere on the screen, using two parameters
representing the X and Y coordinates of the cursor position, with the upper left corner of the screen being
position 1,1. These numbers were sent as ASCII characters of that value, adding 31. For instance, to
position the cursor at column 30 and line 20, you would add 31 to each value to get 61 and 51, then look
up those ASCII characters, = and 3 . The complete command would then be ESC Y 3 = (note the
row, column ordering, not X, Y).[10] Adding 31 ensures that the characters are shifted out of the control
range into the printable character range, so they will transmit properly.

Terminal identifier codes
The ESC Z command allowed the host computer to identify the capabilities of the terminal. There were
eight possible responses.
