Hello,

Stupid question:

I'm presently creating entries in the /etc/remote file with vi and I was
wondering if you have to actually insert a '^' character in those files to
specify the control character, or if you have to use the CTRL-V + char
sequence in vi ?

For example, to put ":el=^U^C^R^O" in the file, do I have to type:

:el=(CTRL-V)U(CTRL-V)C... etc.
or do I just enter the actual characters ^, U, ^, C... etc. ?

Thanks in advance...
