In an attempt to use some of the ANSI features for game programming (muds
in particular), I have found that the syscons.c file in the kernel does
not support cursor position saving (ESC[s) and restoring (ESC[u).  This
appears (to me at least) to be a minor modification, but it is not in
there.  Any recommendations for getting this added in?

I am still using 2.0R, but I checked the FreeBSD-current tonight and it was
not there either.

Thanks!
  John
