3.2 Editor commands
This group of commands lets you:
 send characters to the terminal
 set character blinking parameters
 define the scroll area
N.B.: Whenever the terminal is switched on or reset, the characters are displayed fixed (not
blinking) and the scroll area is set to one display.
3.2.1 Send characters to terminal
This command sends the terminal a sequence of characters to be displayed starting from the current
cursor position. For each character received, the cursor moves one column to the right along the row
on which it is currently positioned until it reaches the last column on the display. If the cursor is already
located on the last column of the display, all characters are displayed at that position and the cursor
itself does not move.
Characters are transmitted using standard ASCII code. The terminal displays all characters apart from
those shown in the following table.
