Since you're probably putting all this into a file, most editors allow you to put in a control character by entering its ASCII code. For the VAX, if you're using the EDT editor (or EVE -- a _GOOD_ editor -- with the SET KEYPAD EDT enabled, I don't know how to use the default EVE keypad off hand) try: <PF1>27<PF1><KP3> Where: <PF1> is the PF1 (gold) dey on the keypad and <KP3> is the 3 key ON THE KEYPAD Since 27 is the ASCII code for <ESC> this should do it. Similarily, since ^A is ASCII 1, I guess ^V should be ASCII 22 >Thanks advanced Well, let's just hope this works!
