@fanf@mendeddrum.org It also did things like sending a line feed followed by an escape sequence if it knew the output was a CRT because \E=YX or even \E[XXX;YYYx was shorter than a bunch of spaces and tabs.
Edit: Also that meant it didn't screw up when some MF changed the terminal tabstop settings.

@fanf@mendeddrum.org I also had an argument with Ken Arnold about what curses should do on a "glass tty" that didn't have a "cursor right" operation - he was all about using "space" and I was like "resend the character that you know is already there" and I ended up writing my own really-dumb-terminal alternative to curses so I could do command line editing on an ADM3.
