     I don't think so.  There is certainly no "^" character on any
3270-type keyboard that I have ever used, and I cannot find a "^"
character on any copy of the familiar IBM "System/370 Reference Summary"
that I have.  "Shift-6" (the usual location of "^") is the EBCDIC
NOT sign (sort of a hyphen with a tail).
