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). Command Equivalent: ENTER SPECIAL Related Topics: QUOTE
