Some of the escape sequences used are the same as the DOS ANSI.SYS device driver. So if you have a DOS manual around you might find some there. I beleve Xterm is very much like vt100/vt220 terminals (ansi.sys is basically vt100) so if you have a manual for one of those that would be another place to look. I'm at home so I don't have all that good stuff available or I would look some up for you. I don't even see my DOS manual right now. Sorry I can't be of more help.
