Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. The following table explains
some of the conventions used.
A pair of numbers separated by a slash (/) character indicates Column/Row notation. This
notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code table, such as ASCII.
Spaces appear between characters in sequences for clarity; they are not part of the format. Space
is designated as "SP" when it is part of the format of a command or sequence.
The following conventions are used in the command listings:
