ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.4) _______________________________________________________________________________ hex [-on|-off] "hexadecimal mode" DESCRIPTION: Use this command to enable or disable "hex" mode to view 'non-printable' characters. "hex -on" enables hex mode, and "hex -off" disables hex mode. If no options are given, the mode is toggled. When hex mode is enabled, characters that are normally not visible in the edit window are displayed as a 3-character string in the form "\HH", where "HH" is the character's 2-digit hexadecimal value. The only exceptions are the following characters: Character name Hex mode symbol -------------- --------------- Backspace \b Formfeed \f Carriage Return \r Tab \t Vertical Tab \v Newline $ The symbols for displaying non-printable characters are editable only as units. For example, if you place the cursor over any of the characters in "\09" and press the "Delete" key, the entire symbol "\09" will disappear. If you need to insert non-printable characters, you can use the 'er' command.
