I don't thinbk you need the double \
That says send the '\' character to the terminal. If you use 
a single '\' it should send ESCAPE(\033) which is what I 
assume should happen...

But I'm guessing, terminal control under *nix is frought 
with difficulties. If I knew more aboit termcap maybe theres 
a general way to do it there but I don't... I suspect 
ncurses may have ways and means too.
