I think this is useful enough to enough people to make it worth posting.

Don't use adm31, the code for reverse video (or standout) is different for the
C128 - use oadm31 (old adm31) if you have it on your system. If you don't, you
could always make your own termcap entry and change the :so=\EG1: to :so=\EG4:

This is because the insert start/end codes given in the termcap entry do NOT
work on the 128. I think you're best bet would be to make up your own
termcap entry. If you would like some help, here's a termcap entry I use
(although until I get my NEWSYS installed, I can't really test it out but I
*know* the codes work on CP/M 3.0 on the 128 - I have tried them.) :

setterm adm31
setenv TERMCAP "l1|adm31|31:is=\Eu\E0:cr=^M:do=^J:nl=^J:bl=^G:al=\EE:am:le=^H:bs:ce=\ET:cm=\E=%+\040%+\040:cl=\E*:cd=\EY:co#80:dc=\EW:dl=\ER:ho=^^:kd=^J:kl=^H:kr=^L:ku=^K:li#24:mi:nd=^L:se=\EG0:so=\EG4:up=^K:"

(I just set up a file and 'source' it (from csh))

Here are some I know (taken and modified from the termcap entry) :

Escape codes for C128's CP/M emulating ADM31. '#' represents a number. 'ESC' is
the ESCAPE code (ASCII 27). SPC is ASCII 32.

ESC E          insert line
ESC R          delete line
ESC W          delete character
ESC *          clear entire display (same as ^Z)
ESC Y          clear to end of display (same as ESC y)
ESC T          clear to end of line (same as ESC t)
ESC G 4                start standout
ESC G 0                end standout
ESC = # #      move cursor to (#-32, #-32)
^^             home cursor (how to type this from the keyboard I don't know -
               could always use "ESC = SPC SPC")
^K             up one line
^L             right one charactrer
^H             left
^J             down


I hope this helps.
