Also take a look at http://www.vt100.net . Since linux tries to emulate
the Dec vt100 at this site you will find the vt100 manuals. They are quite
good and the esc codes are well described in them.

Somebody reminded me in private email that we finally have a reasonable
console documentation in console_codes(4).

To me "finally" sounds as if this happy state was achieved only recently.
But console_codes.4 is from Mon Oct 31 22:13:04 1996.
