See ANSI standard X3.64 (I have no idea what the date suffix is).
Note that it has no relation at all to X3.159-1989.  In other words,
the sequences recommeded by ANSI for screen control have absolutely
nothing to do with `ANSI C'; in fact, you can use ANSI C on a system
that does not have a screen.
