When I wrote it, it was primarily used for logging in to ANSI BBS 
systems and so there may be some codes that were not commonly used on 
BBS systems that got missed.  I know it supports the standard cursor 
positioning and foreground/background color stuff and a few others.  
I've been searching for my original source disk for some time now but 
haven't found it yet.  I know I have it somewhere though.  Wouldn't be 
too tough to figure out the problem and re-assemble it to fix it. 
There's a disassembled version floating around that Randy Wilson did a 
long time ago.
