Software :: Reverse Vertical Tabulation With Minicom?

is there a way to move the cursor upward in Minicom when connected to another machine ?

I have an embedded system connected to the PC via null-modem. The embedded machine is to "redraw" the screen on the PC every second. Right now it sends the Form Feed command (0Ch) and sends the screen data down to the end of the page. The flow in detail as seen from the embedded sytem:

1) send FF (0Ch)
2) send text "blah blah one two and so on .."
3) goto step 1

This approach works but the minicom screen on the PC flickers due to the Form Feed command. So I need to find a way to move the cursor up (like a reverse vertical tabulation) to the upper left corner of the screen without using the Form Feed command. In a HOWTO I found something like "vertical coupling" that may be used for such cases, but no more hints than that.
