<ESC>[{start};{end}r    is the escape sequence. 
  {start} and {end} are line numbers. I'm not sure who supports it.

 The above works on DEC VT series terminals. I haven't tried
anything like this lately.
  Normally one uses a seperate window for static info.

 You give up too easy.  Search on "ANSI" + "terminal" + "control".
 You should get mostly useful hits.
