er (edit_raw) insert raw character
usage: er nn
DESCRIPTION
The er command sends a raw character to a program. The single argument
nn (required) is a one-character or two-character hexadecimal value that
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.
Use the er command in programs that must define keys to return known
values for actions by the programs.
This command differs from the other text insertion commands in that it
does not insert the hexadecimal character into an edit pad. Its sole
function is to pass a hexadecimal character to a running program.
