ESCAPE

The ESCAPE command establishes the escape character you must enter as the first character of a line command. Line commands are discussed in more detail in Using Line Commands.

When specifying a line command, you type the current escape character in column 1 of the work file. The escape character signals that subsequent characters should be evaluated as a line command, rather than as an input statement or compiler input.
