ER (EDIT_RAW) -- Insert raw character.
usage:  er nn


FORMAT

  ER nn


  The  ER  command  sends  a raw character to a program.  The single argument nn
  (required) is a 1- or 2-character hexadecimal value which defines  the  single
  byte sent to the active program the next time the program requests input.  The
  data  byte  is  not  echoed  anywhere on the display.  In effect, this command
  delivers a single raw keystroke to a program.

  This command can be used by programs that need to define keys to return  known
  values for actions by the programs.

  This  command  differs  from the other text insertion commands in that is does
  NOT insert the hexadecimal character into an edit pad.  Its sole  function  is
  to pass a hexadecimal character to a running program.
