Escape (ESC) key
.---~-----------
Generates the ASCII escape code
When you press this key, the ASCII escape code is generated. This is the first
character of an escape sequence (ESC key plus appropriate alphanumeric
key). The ESC sequences are commands to perform specific functions other
than the ASCII control functions. For more information on ESC sequences,
refer to "Commands and responses" in Chapter 5.

Transmit an escape sequence to the host system or generate a user
defined character string
The 12 function keys each have 2 functions, a function in lower shift and a
function in upper shift totalling 24 functions. Keys F13 through F24 are
activated on the F1 through F12 keys with the Shift key. If you have not
redefined a Function key yet, the following escape sequences will be
generated:
Lower Shift Upper Shift

F1 ESC.a F13 ESC.!.a

If a function key has been redefined, the function stored in the display station
is performed. For details on how to redefine these function keys, refer to
"Defining Function keys" in Chapter 4.
