Advanced Features 7-33
For console redirection, an escape sequence starts with an escape character. This character
can be entered in a number of different ways, depending on the requirements of your
terminal emulation software. For example, 0x1b, ^[, and <Esc> all refer to the same
escape character. Some terminal software uses predefined macros to send the proper escape
sequences. In HyperTerminal, you can define macros by selecting Key Macros from the
View menu. Macros can be assigned to almost any possible key for almost any key
combination. Create a macro for each of your function keys. Table 7-3 and Table 7-4 list
the escape sequence that must be sent to represent a special key or command.
NOTE: When defining macros in HyperTerminal, you must press <Ins> before <Esc> to
signify that you are sending an escape sequence rather than escaping out of the dialog box.
