He's not talking about cursor addressing.  The escape sequence works
in xterm and moves the actual window relative to the screen.  It's not
defined anywhere in my xterm terminfo here (Debian GNU/Linux), and
don't think that there's even a terminfo capability name for this
funtionality (but I could have overlooked it).
