csh does nothing to interpret the sequences; it simply echoes them.  The
sequences are processed by the terminal program (either the console or the
xterm).  You only need to make sure the sequences are encoded correctly.
You might want to let some library do the encoding for you depending on
the value of TERM...

Check if the same sequences work from the HPUX bash/sh.  If they do, then
look for a problem in the way you encode the sequences in your csh
scripts.  If they don't, you're probably echoing the wrong sequences.
