  Ascii

    Ascii is the last state for entering text. In the Ascii state 
   any printable Ascii character can be entered. The Ascii state, like
   the katakan state, is invoked either with the F3 key or with a Ascii 
   flag, the Ascii flag. The Ascii flag is the tilde character ("~") and
   is used in the same manner as the katakana flag.

   Example:

     Enter: ~Example~                   Example


   Since the "~" and "|" characters are special control characters they
  cannot be entered normally. To enter these two characters precede them
  with the backslash ("\") character. The backslash will escape the 
  normal meaning of these characters. Using the backslash with any other
  character will enter the backslash and that character.
