- 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)
