Please I need to know how to put an escape character in my
file so I can send specific control characters to the printer.
With vi you can put an escape character by Ctrl-v <esc-key> but
when you save you file all linefeeds are added with a carrige return.
Can someone infom me how to to this with notepad.

Thanks in advance.

Can't remember if you can do it in notepad... but you can in EDIT.

In EDIT, use Ctrl-P-Ctrl-[ to enter escape.
