USAGE
E[scape] [<new_escape_character>]
DESCRIPTION
The escape command, when entered by itself, will display the
character that is currently set as the escape character. This
character is what will be used if you want to exit from the
current session. For instance, if you have started a "chat"
session, and you don't get any response from the operator after
waiting a few minutes, you can enter the escape character,
followed by a <RETURN> or <ENTER>, and the session will be
terminated. You will then be returned to the MBOX prompt.
The escape character may be changed to one of your preference
by entering "escape" followed by a <SPACE> and the character
that will become the new escape character. This must be a
single typed character (the <CTRL> key may be used in addition).
EXAMPLES
escape ^Z (the ASCII character <CTRL>Z)
escape X (the character "x" is the new escape)
