techique required

[Esko Christiansen]

Hi,

Instead of knowing which byte to put data into use:

define ictrl_g integer*2 = 7 * 257     ; put 7 into both low and high byte
define ctrl_g character*1 = (characters(ictrl_g))[1:1]

([2:1] will also work for all environments)

This is architecture dependent: on VMS it's (characters(ictrl_g))[1:1]

Alternatively, the EDT/TPU sequence Gold Specins 7 (PF1 KP3 7 I think),
although I preferto avoid embedding special characters.

Never tried inserting bells, but I know that to get Quick to leave escape
sequences alone (eg to bold certain words in a field), you need
TERM=VT420-ANY
on the command line.
