Dear Mark,
here is a small shell-script I wrote to get rid of the escape-sequences.
By far neither elegant nor sophisticated, but at least its working for me.
have fun

# remove-escape #
#################################################
# this small script should remove most escape-sequneces by a file
# I used it to get rid of the escape-chars genereated by the "screen" tool.
# file to clean is given via shell-parameter
# suggestions: please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# use at own risk. I am not responsible for any losses or damage caused by this
script.
# I repeat: use at own risk!
############################
#
# helpers is simply vim
# the tr-tool is not any longer used here to do the job
#
# the script will create a backup-file with the .orig extension added.
if (( $# != 1 ))
then
echo "none or to many file(s) given as parameter"
echo "usage ./remove-escape <file-to-clean>"
echo "will exit now"
