- Terminal control characters (a.k.a. escape codes) are _very_ terminal depend-
- ant. That is, one set of escape codes may work fine for one terminal, and
- behave very differently on another terminal. Keep this in mind if you don't
- know the terminal type of the user reading your .plan.
-
- For info on escape codes (or sequences), look at the man pages for 'termcap'
- and/or 'terminfo'.
