UC Berkeley Lines: 15 How do I create a file that contains a control sequence, like ^X^C for instance ? It seems that the "mode-less" advantage that EMACS has over VI could be negated by the inflexibility of the editor if there is no easy way to do this. Flame repellent: I realize that this is probably an easy question, but I could not find any references to it in the documentation or in the past 200 messages to the net.
