Sorry for the late summary, but I've only received two replies to my query
and the 2 replies diverged, so I'm still uncertain with the proper way of
doing those things.
Here is the original question:
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...
---------------------------------
Responses:
a) Use CTRL-V sequence + the character
b) A vi lesson on the use of CTRL-V
I already know how to use CTRL-V, it's just that I'm wondering if the tip
command actually interprets the '^' characters as CTRL, or does it actually
ned a REAL CTRL-something character in the /etc/remote file.
Anyway, I'll try to do some tests....
