"ESC" Miscellaneous Commands
ACTION: The ESC key (or ESC character code sent via a serial port) is used dur-
ing program execution to force execution of a command in the host
buffer.
COMMAND SYNTAX: ESC (ASCII 27) command
REMARKS: When the controller is executing a BASIC program, any host commands
received are queued for execution after the BASIC program finishes.
The execution of a host command can be forced to happen immediately
by preceding it with the ESC character (ASCII 27). The command will
consist of all characters from the ESC to the cr (carriage return). Multi-
ple commands can be placed on one line, but they must be separated by
colons (:).
