[comp.emacs] Creating files containing control characters

naparst@cartan.Berkeley.EDU (Harold Naparst) (12/28/86)

How do I create a file that contains a control sequence, like ^X^C for
instance ?  It seems that the "mode-less" advantage that EMACS has over
VI could be negated by the inflexibility  of the editor if there is no
easy way to do this.

Flame repellent:  I realize that this is probably an easy question, but I
could not find any references to it in the documentation or in the past
200 messages to the net.
