Most modern programs don't generate escape sequences. Those that manage a 
text-mode screen in a pseudo-graphical way do, e.g. emacs, do, though. Those 
escape sequences are for screen management and not at all for human 
consumption. They're integral to how the program works but there's no point in 
trying to understand them. To learn a program like Emacs, you need to pay 
attention to how it manages the screen rather than intercept and try to 
interpret those escape sequences.
