I can send you the result of 'man HW screen' which is the description
of SCO console. BTW 5 years ago I have implemented the SCO console sequences
interpreter. It may be a bit ughly and contain minor bugs but it
implements most of SCO Unix and Xenix sequences (yes, they are completely
different in SCO Unix and Xenix). So may be it can be useful for you.
