I agree to the proposed semantics for CR, LF, LS, and PS. This would also
handle correctly the widely exploited CR-LF convention.
However, for FF, I'd prefer the following semantics:
FF: wait; column=1, row=1; clear;
where:
wait : wait for some system-dependend acknowledgment from the user,
e. g. hitting a particular key,
or for some user-definable time, defaulting to about 10 sec
clear: clear from current position to end of the screen
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
