  SpecIns

  Enters a character or control code from the DEC Multinational Character
  Set by using the ASCII decimal value for the character.

  Steps:

     1.  Press the Specins key (PF1-KP3).

     2.  Type the decimal value for the character, such
         as 27 for the escape character or 181 for the micro symbol (µ).

  The Specins key enters the character according to the current mode
  of the buffer (insert or overstrike), as shown in the status line.  (See
  help on the CHANGE TEXT_ENTRY_MODE command.) Some control codes appear as a
  backwards question mark.

  Alternatively, you can enter multinational characters with the Compose
  Character key.  To enter control codes, such as escape, press the Quote
  key (CTRL/V).
