That should work (and it appears from your later post that it did). You could 
look at pkg PragmARC.ANSI_TTY_Control

https://github.com/jrcarter/PragmARC

It doesn't do colors, since at the time it was developed (c. 1990) colors 
weren't very portable, and this is not used much these days, but it should serve 
as a guide for how to do it.
