[net.micro] FW Config problem

I ran into a problem whilst trying to configure the FW to use the user-defined
character set on an Epson FX-80.  The character string required to switch the
printer between the standard (ROM) and user-defined (RAM) set is:
<ESC>%<n><0>
where <n> is a byte with value n.  To select RAM, n=1, to select ROM, n=0.
The problem is that Config appears to treat <0> as an end-of-string marker.
Thus, it accepts the <ESC>%<1> as the string to select RAM, and <ESC>% as the
string to select ROM.  The printer, alas, has other thoughts on the matter.

Is there any way to get Config to accept a <0> in a string in a printer
definition?
