Within a Serial Command
To enter control characters within a serial command, hold down the
control key while typing the desired character.
Example: <K141,1,CNTL-m> to enter ^M
Within an Embedded Menu
Control characters entered on the command line are displayed in the
menu as mnemonic characters, such as: <CR><NUL><NUL><NUL>.
To enter a control character from within an embedded menu, first type
in a space (with the space key). This has the effect of allowing the con-
trol key to be recognized as a part of the control character. Next hold
down the control key while typing the desired character.
Example: Space CNTL-m to enter ^M.
