Okay all you VAX/VMS 2.5  experts, I need some help here:
	I am trying to write a COMMAND (.COM) file and a need to use the
<esc> key in the file.  However, as you could probably guess, when I press
the key while editing this COMMAND file, it takes me right out of that file
and puts me into the edit mode.  I guess I need some way of simulating the
<esc> key so I can use it the way I need to.  Am I making sense???
	I would really appreciate any advice or help.  I've read the manuals
and they are of no help at all (so what else is new).
				  Thanks,
						Scott

To enter an escape character into your edited text, you should change what SOS
thinks an escape is. To do this, you use the /ESCAPE command. (natch).
