   Yes, not very helpful that the output of technical system info gets
regarded as spam. :-(


> Maybe you just mistyped the escape sequences?

   I actually just solved it myself after a quick look around the web. It
turns out it's case-sensitive (not a very DOS-like thing to do, though I
guess it's because we're talking binaries here, not plain text).
Paradoxically (i.e. someone needs to proof-read this stuff) the doco
showed a lower-case "m", whereas the example given at the end was in
upper-case (which is what I originally had and wasn't working). It works
now that I have changed the case (although the cursor is going back to
white again after I've called an app).

   I'll get back to you guys about the other stuff later (just a few
further comments to make, for future reference), but for now know that I
have resolved all my issues. :-)

thanks,
  dp.
