     I'm a relative newcomer to the world of Emacs and I have a problem.
I'm trying to port an emacs based text editor to a Sun Workstation.
The editor was written for an hp2645 and used reverse video to 
highlight selected text.  The mlisp code uses "send-string-to-terminal" 
to write the reverse video escape sequence to the terminal. 

     I thought it would be a simple matter of translating
the escape sequences from hp to Sun (via their termcap entries)
and firing it up.  Alas, I was fooling myself.  The cursor moves
to the correct positions (i.e. left, right, up and down escapes
work) but no reverse video.  Does anyone out there have any ideas?

	 - Thanks in advance
