The following is a list of Ansi Code sequences that I used in my program.
I only included the Ansi codes useful to me. If you find others of use to
you, please include them in this doc, with a little note of revision. If you
revise this document of new Ansi codes, please include them into filter.pas.

'*' is the Escape sequence used for each Ansi Code. CHR(27) or 1b hex is
the Escape sequence.

A normal Ansi code looks similar to the following:

*[ + coding + Marker.

Marker Description and other notes
============================================================================
J Clears all or part of the screen, it has three possible codes:
*[0J or *[J - Clears from cursor to end of screen
*[1J - Clears from beginning of screen to cursor
*[2J - Completely clears the screen
K Clears all or part of the line, it has three possible codes:
*[0K or *[K - Clears from cursor to end of screen
*[1K - Clears from beginning of screen to cursor
*[2K - Completely clears the screen
m Contains all of the color sequences listed below:

No. Color <- Intensified -> Color (Fore/Back)
-----------------------------------------------------------
30 Black +1 Grey Fore
31 Red +1 Bright Red Fore
32 Green +1 Bright Green Fore
33 Brown +1 Yellow Fore
34 Blue +1 Bright Blue Fore
35 Purple +1 Bright Purple Fore
36 Cyan +1 Bright Cyan Fore
37 Light grey +1 Bright white Fore
40 Black Back
41 Red Back
42 Green Back
43 Brown Back
44 Blue Back
45 Purple Back
46 Cyan Back
47 Light grey Back

0 - Sets everything back to normal
1 - Intensifies the color
5 - Makes the color blink
7 - reverses the background/foreground colors
8 - Makes the current Foreground match the back

To change it to color blue it would look like
*[34m

To change it to a bright blue it would look like
*[1;34m

To change it to a bright, blinking blue
*[1;5;34m

To change it to a bright, blinking blue on a black back
*[1;5;34;40m

H,f They are goto statements. H is the most common one used, r is
used for a location report, however some bbs programs use it as
as a goto statement. It is used like the following:
*[ < row >; + marker

to move to the top left hand corner of the screen, you would have
*[1;1H

and to move to the bottom right-hand corner you would have
*[25;80H

r Set the active window. It can have 1 of three forms:
*[r - row to start window
*[,r - row to start, row to end
*[,,,r - begin r,c & end r,c
This command is similar to the window command in Basic
View Print, and Pascals Window. However this doesnt change any
X,Y coordinats. If the boundry is from line 5 to line 24, and
a goto statement is sent to line 3, the window is temp. out of
commesion, however when a goto statement in within the active
screen again, the window is restores
( This one is used by alot of fancy editors, DOS doesn't
Recgonize this command, however BBS's do )


A moves the cursor up. The following is used for moving the cursor
up 2 spaces
*[2A
the correct format is *[ n A
where 'n' is the spaces to move


B moves the cursor down. The following is used for moving the
cursor down 2 spaces
*[2B
the correct format is *[ n B
where 'n' is the spaces to move


C moves the cursor right. The following is used for moving the
cursor right 2 spaces
*[2C
the correct format is *[ n C
where 'n' is the spaces to move


D moves the cursor left. The following is used for moving the
cursor left 2 spaces
*[2D
the correct format is *[ n D
where 'n' is the spaces to move

M deletes lines. *[ n M is the proper format.
*[1M would delete one line

L inserts one line. *[ n L is the proper format
*[1L would insert one line

s saves the XY location. *[s.

u restores the last saved XY location from *[s. Looks like *[u



Thats the end of the basic ansi list. However, Filter.pas continues to
filter out Music. The music is a little harder to filter out. Most ansi
codes start off with *[, but it starts off with *[M and the current
location of sound. 'B' would be the background and 'F' would be the
foreground. That is a reason for not allowing defaults for the marker 'M'
above. When filtering out music, you search for *[ and the beginning
marker.

A music ansi code would look like the following

*[M beginning marker + Music lines + end marker.

the end marker for music is a music symbol, chr(14) or E hex.

here is a list of all the music statements:

A - G plays notes A through G of 1 musical scale. You may include
an optional number sign (#) or plus sign (+) to indicate a
sharp note or a minus sign (-) to indicate a flat note.

Ln Sets the duration of the notes that follow. n may be a value
in the range 1 to 64 where:
1 indicates a whole note
2 indicates a half note
4 indicates a quarter note
8 indicates an eighth note
16 indicates a sixteenth note

On sets the current octave. There are 7 octaves, 0 through 6.
Octave 3 starts with middle C. Default = Octave 4.

Nn plays a note. N may be in the range 0 to 64.

Tn sets the number of quarter notes in one minute. N may be in
the range of 32 to 255. Default = 120 quarter notes in 1
minute

. plays as a dotted note. It plays 1/2 its normal note length
longer.

MF plays the music in the foreground

MB plays the music in the background

MN sets "music normal"; each note plays 7/8 of the duration set
by the L option

ML sets "music legato"; each note plays full duration as set by
the L option

MS sets "music staccato"; each note plays 3/4 of the duration
as set by the L option


Thats all folks!
