| ☜ | Side-Effects on $X and $Y1984 Version of ANSI Standard | ☞ | ||||
As READ and WRITE transfer characters one at a time, certain characters or character combinations represent device control functions, depending on the identity of the current device. To the extent that the supervisory function can detect these control characters or character sequences, they will alter $X and $Y as follows.
| graphic: | add 1 to $X | |
| backspace: | set $X = max($X–1,0) | |
| line feed: | add 1 to $Y | |
| carriage return: | set $X = 0 | |
| form feed: | set $Y = 0, $X = 0 |
