QUESTION: ESC[ ?

Hello !

That will sound like a beginner's question... no matter !

How can I have the ANSIcodes ESC[ on a VT100?
I've tried a lot of keys, but that doesn't work...

Any hint ?

	Thanks !

				Olivier.

Question, what are you connected to. In UNIX, use emacs, and type 
ctrl-q, and then the key you want to be placed. For instance, for escape 
codes, type ctrl-q ESC.

There's No such thing as sanity, and that's the sanest fact.

Close.  On a VT100, you might well be unable to use Ctrl-Q (or Ctrl-S)
due to flow control.  In that case, do a M-x enable-flow-control (or
add the line
  (enable-flow-control)
to your ~/.emacs file), which substitutes Ctrl-\ for Ctrl-S and Ctrl-^
for Ctrl-Q.

This is new to Emacs 19 -- if you're on Emacs 18, holler for an
upgrade.

Oh yeah.  For you emacs-less folks, vi has a similar thing with Ctrl-V
instead of Ctrl-Q.

If you use EDT, it's even easier. Just press 'esc' key twice, and the 
necessary character will be inserted into the text. You will see it as
<ESC>.

Is there any possible way of doing this using pico? I've tried almost 
everything I can think of.... the way I do it now is that I have a file 
that has the escape code in it and every time I want an escape code I 
always read in the file.... is there an easier way of doing it?

Thanks

In composing that post I fired up Pico and I too tried everything I
could think of.  I think it's just one of those things you give up for
Pico's simplicity.

That's what I used to do in Emacs until I discovered the Ctrl-Q thing.
I'd guess it's the easiest way.  Of course, if you have a decent
telnet/comm program you can bind a key (Shift-ESC, for example) to do
your "Ctrl-R ~/etc/esc+bracket <Enter>" or whatever.  That's what I'd
recommend.

  Does anyone out there have any Beavis and Butthead cartoons?
I need them to shut a friend up who keeps quoting them all the time!
