Subject: Why do the escape sequences not work?

Date: 2004-10-02T08:55:41-04:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d23e6915629caea950f8445632cbd448@localhost.talkaboutprogramming.com> (raw)

According to what iv'e read, the commands to clear the screen are:

Ada.Text_IO.Put(Item => ASCII.ESC);
Ada.Text_IO.Put(Item => "[2J");

on my compuer they simply make the text value of ESC apear followed by the
[2J.  I'm using Windows ME at the command prompt. and suspect it has
sometyhing to do with the way the OS recognised escape codes... but ca
anyone direct me somewhere where i can find the right escape codes?
