Literal <Ctrl P>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Causes the editor to literally interpret the keystroke that is
entered immediately following this command. It is used to insert
control characters into the currently edited file.
For example, to insert the ASCII form-feed character (ASCII 12), you
would first press <Ctrl P> then <Ctrl L>. To insert a "null"
character into the file, press <Ctrl P> and then <Ctrl 2>. (Note:
The "2" must be the "2" key on the alphanumeric keyboard, NOT the
key on the numeric keypad.)
Refer to the "Adding Text" section of Chapter 1 for more
information.

| QEdit Tip: |
| An alternate and perhaps easier method of |
| entering control characters or any ASCII |
| character into your text is to hold down the |
| <Alt> key and enter the decimal equivalent of |
| the ASCII character using the numeric keypad. |
| For example, to insert a formfeed character |
| (ASCII 12) in the text, just enter <Alt 12> |
| using the numeric keypad. |
| |
| If a linefeed character (ASCII 10) is entered, |
| QEdit will split the line at this position the |
| next time the file is edited. |
