String constants

Sometimes special characters are needed when sending strings to the ISP. The following string constants can be used to replace these.

^char Caret translation.

If char is a character between “@“ and “_“, this will be

converted to a character value between 0 and 31. ^M for

example, is converted to carriage return.

If char is a character between a and z, this will be converted to a

character value between 0 and 26. Other characters will not be

converted.
