  13. How does one enter an octal code to a program that is doing a getchar?
  14. Say I wanted to enter octal 247.  How does one do this from the keyboard?
  15. This is on a DECstation 5000/25 running Ultrix 4.2A with csh.

  17. I already tried comp.unix.questions but got no responses so I decided
  18. to try this newsgroup.
