USAGE
 E[scape] [<new_escape_character>]

DESCRIPTION
 The escape command, when entered by itself, will display the
 character that is currently set as the escape character. This
 character is what will be used if you want to exit from the
 current session.  For instance, if you have started a
 "operator" session, and you don't get any response from the
 operator after waiting a few minutes, you can enter the
 escape character, followed by a <RETURN> or <ENTER>, and
 the session will be terminated.  You will then be returned to
 the MBOX prompt.

 The escape character may be changed to one of your preference
 by entering "escape" followed by a <SPACE> and the character
 that will become the new escape character.  This must be a
 single typed character (the CTRL key may be used in addition).

EXAMPLE
 escape ^Z          (the ASCII character CTRL-Z)
