    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.
