sorry, but ASCII is ANSI, so the ASCII control characters are ANSI characters, and I didn't even mention "ANSI's escape sequences" which are an escape from ASCII's single character meanings, but use the ASCII ESC character as it was intended, to escape within the ASCII framework. ANSI makes people think about controlling devices and ASCII also controls devices (not to mention bidirectional comms) so I think it's a good way to think of it. Since we've all read the docs, but a bunch of you are laboring under misimpressions, I'm trying to say things in an unusual but truthful way to be the iceberg to the titanic of misunderstanding that thinks the BEL character doesn't belong in ANSI's ASCII protocol
