Barry, you can use "vi" to put those control characters.  First you have to 
type ctrl-v and then the ctrl-char you want.  

For example: To get ^[  (ctrl-[ or the ESC char)
             You must type ctrl-v and press ESC
             Another alternative is type ctrl-v followed by ctrl-[

ps: you have to be in the insert/append mode of vi

Hope this helps
