 ENTERING NON-PRINTABLE CHARACTERS

 In quite a few instances while using Telix, the user must
 specify a string to be sent out over the modem port. Sometimes
 this string must contain characters which can not be printed
 on the screen, for example, control characters, and even
 pauses. There has to be a way of indicating these special
 characters, and it is done through the use of special characters
 called translation characters. When these translation
 characters are encountered in an output string they are trans-
 lated into other characters. The default translation charac-
 ters are:

    ^ - when this character is encountered in an output
      string it will make the following character a con-
      trol character. For example, ^A will send out the
      code for Control-A. A few common control characters
      are ^M, which is the Carriage Return character, ^J,
      which is the Line Feed character, and ^[, which is
      the Esc character. To send out the ^ character it-
      self, use two ^'s, as explained above.

    ~ - when this character is encountered it will make
      Telix pause for 1/2 a second. There is no way to
      send the actual ~ character out. Two in a row will
      be converted to two pauses.

 There is one thing to keep in mind. These characters are only
 translated on strings sent out to the modem, for example, the
 dialing prefix, the hang-up string, a keyboard macro, the mo-
 dem initialization string, and a few other cases.
