        Hi,
        using menu EDIT->CHARACTER PANEL opens the asccii window which
        shows you the available chars and its values. By pressing left ALT key
        and the needed number (from the number key pad) you will insert it.

        E.g ESC = ALT+27 and ^ = ALT+94

        Cheers
        Claudia
