Well, it's ESC [ 21 t or printf("\033[21t") but I have never figured
out a way to do anything useful with it. If you find a way to
capture the result, let me know.
I have a copy of the ctlseqs.ms document, but I can't remember where I
found it. I'll be happy to send it to you if you have not already
gotten 57 copies in your in basket as a result of your post. It's
about 32k so I won't post it to the list.
