    echo "\033" (number zero, not letter "Oh")
    should have only sent a single <esc> (escape) character.
    \0332 should have sent some character, mayeb you really did 0332 and only
    mis-typed it here?

    ok, the script will detect any $TERM that starts with "vt" and do some
    stuff.
    as it happens, the linux console is almost just like a "vt220"

    so try this for starters, and we'll do something more exact and better
    later if this looks encouraging.

    since you can't get a chance to execute commands on the sco box when
    testing the app, do this on the linux box, before telnetting to sco:
    export TERM=vt220

    then telnet to sco and try the application.

    this should at least behave different if not look & work a lot better.

    as I said, more exact steps can follow this one if it looks promising.
