Does this work for anyone?  It's supposed to make `escape'      ^^^      ^^
reversed, but I'm pretty sure that news servers strip escape codes.

The last time Susan posted this guide, there was a discussion of escape codes
in Emacs.  Remember...
1) Emacs is HIGHLY customizable
2) There are different flavors of Emacs

How to insert the escape character (<esc> is the escape key on the keyboard).

Gnu Emacs    C-Q <esc>
vi           ^V ^[
UNIX shell   echo , | tr , "\033"       e.g. echo ,\(B,[0m | tr , "\033"
DOS EDIT     ^P <esc>
Macintosh    I'll ask again...any Mac users know?

Or you can make a shell script or batch file that echos the escape character.
