Host asks if screen 87 exists. If this screen does not currently exist the TCS responds:

<ESC>[>12;0n

<ESC>[>12;1n

Host requests whether screen number

exists. If this screen exists, the TCS responds:

<ESC>[>12;1n

<ESC>[>12n

Host is requesting if the Displayed Screen exists. The Displayed Screen always exists, so the
TCS responds:
