= SUMMARY =

To insert escape sequences with ASCII characters below decimal 32 into a Microsoft Works for MS-DOS Word Processor document, type any character at the place in the document where you want the escape sequence to begin. Then, with the Replace command, replace that character with “^27” (without the quotation marks). This enters the escape character (which appears as a arrow pointing to the left). Enter the rest of the escape sequence. For example, to enter the escape code D, enter a capital letter “D” after this arrow.

To insert escape characters below decimal 32 in the Spreadsheet or Database module, you must first insert the escape character in the Word Processor module using the steps listed above, and then copy it into the first line of the Spreadsheet or Database file.

To insert codes with characters above decimal 32, but not greater than 255, press the ALT key while you type the ASCII decimal number on the numeric keypad.
