Actually, the code is with a capitol J.  ESC[2J.  That might be why
TinyFugue doesn't like it.

Here are the codes I can remember:

ESC[#A   - Moves cursor up #, or if # is omitted, moves up 1.
ESC[#B   - -- down --
ESC[#C   - -- right --
ESC[#D   - -- left --
ESC[#;#K - Moves cursor to #,# on screen.
ESC[#;#r - Scrolling area is from line # to #.  Cursor is moved
            to the top of the scrolling area.
ESC[r    - Set text-scroll size to full screen and move cursor to top.
ESCM     - Moves the cursor up one.  If it's at the top of the screen,
            the text scrolls backwards one line. (Exclude the [)
            This doesn't work with true ansi.  Just vt100 and up.
ESC[#m   - Sets text attributes.  You may include more than 1 code,
            seperate #'s with semicolons (;)
             Attributes:
              1  - Bold
              4  - Underline
              6  - Blink(???)
              7  - Inverse
              8  - Concealed (invisible)
              30 - Black Text
              31 - Red Text
              32 - Green Text
              33 - Yellow/brown Text
              34 - Blue Text
              35 - Purple Text
              36 - Cyan Text
              37 - White Foreground
              40 - Black Background
              41 - Red Background
              42 - Green Background
              43 - Yellow/brown Background
              44 - Blue Background
              45 - Purple Background
              46 - Cyan Background
              47 - White Background
