RealTerm has an "ANSI" checkbox that allows for VT100 functionality.
Leave it unchecked for raw data display. This would be useful for SIOW.

If CCS took out the terminal emulation mode, it might have been a decision based on cost (maybe) or lack of usage of escape sequences. Actually I might just use a Hyperterminal to get I/O and SIOW to get the graphing functions.

I suspect they removed it because they see the primary 'use' as diagnostic, and hence it is important to display everything. However given it is already written, to have it as an option would be a great improvement, and when you want the diagnostic use simply disable it.
