You can make a program to print "[^H1%sm" (using C) and you use the 
printf function to fill in %s.  Simple.  Here are the VT100 codes.

                              ANSI ESCAPE SEQUENCES
=============================================================================
 
Wherever you see '#', that should be replaced by the appropriate number.
 
        ESC code sequence                       Function
       -------------------              ---------------------------
Cursor Controls:
         ESC[#;#H or ESC[#;#f           Moves cusor to line #, column #
         ESC[#A                         Moves cursor up # lines
         ESC[#B                         Moves cursor down # lines
         ESC[#C                         Moves cursor forward # spaces
         ESC[#D                         Moves cursor back # spaces
         ESC[#;#R                       Reports current cursor line & column
         ESC[s                          Saves cursor position for recall 
later
         ESC[u                          Return to saved cursor position
 
Erase Functions:
         ESC[2J                         Clear screen and home cursor
         ESC[K                          Clear to end of line
 
Set Graphics Rendition:
         ESC[#;#;....;#m                Set display attributes where # is
                                            0 for normal display
                                            1 for bold on
                                            4 underline (mono only)
                                            5 blink on
                                            7 reverse video on
                                            8 nondisplayed (invisible)
                                            30 black foreground 
                                            31 red foreground

                                            36 cyan foreground 
                                            37 white foreground

                                            44 blue background
                                            45 magenta background
                                            46 cyan background
                                            47 white background
 
         ESC[=#;7h or                   Put screen in indicated mode 
where # is
         ESC[=h or                          0 for 40 x 25 black & white
         ESC[=0h or                         1 for 40 x 25 color
         ESC[?7h                            2 for 80 x 25 b&w
                                            3 for 80 x 25 color
                                            4 for 320 x 200 color graphics
                                            5 for 320 x 200 b & w graphics
                                            6 for 640 x 200 b & w graphics
                                            7 to wrap at end of line 
 
         ESC[=#;7l or ESC[=l or         Resets mode # set with above command
         ESC[=0l or ESC[?7l
 
Keyboard Reassignments:
         ESC[#;#;...p                   Keyboard reassignment. The first 
ASCII
         or ESC["string"p               code defines which code is to be 
         or ESC[#;"string";#;           changed. The remaining codes define
            #;"string";#p               what it is to be changed to.
 
         E.g. Reassign the Q and q keys to the A and a keys (and vice versa).
         ESC [65;81p                    A becomes Q
         ESC [97;113p                   a becomes q
         ESC [81;65p                    Q becomes A
         ESC [113;97p                   q becomes a
 
         E.g. Reassign the F10 key to a DIR command.
         ESC [0;68;"dir";13p            The 0;68 is the extended ASCII 
code 
                                        for the F10 key and 13 is the ASCII
                                        code for a carriage return.
         
         Other function key codes       F1=59,F2=60,F3=61,F4=62,F5=63
                                        F6=64,F7=65,F8=66,F9=67,F10=68

----
I believe the ESC ascii code is 27.
