Examples to Add

[FoamyGuy]

I have a list of examples that I'd like to get added floating around in my mind so I'm going to get them written down here.

I will eventually get to adding all of these. But if anyone else comes along and see's something they think they could tackle please feel free to send a PR.

Also I'm sure my list is not comprehensive so if you have ideas for things that would make other good examples please feel free to follow up with a comment adding some more.

I just submitted a PR with a simple terminalio example. An expanded example would show how to use VT100 escape codes.
