[Dclug] high ascii

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

Or just edit the file with emacs. I dunno the RE for meta characters 
right off the bat, but I'm sure they can easily be constructed. 
Actually, looking for any non-printable char should do:

^S [ ^ SPACE - ~ ^Q ^I ^Q ^J ] ENTER

should work. Note that I put a space between each keystroke so you can 
read it. Perhaps the following would also work

^S [ ^Q 2 0 0 - ^Q 3 7 7 ] ENTER
