QUOTE

 Enters a control code or other character, either as text in the buffer you
 are editing or as a string for a command.

 Steps:

    1.  Use the QUOTE command.  (EVE defines CTRL/V as QUOTE).

    2.  Enter the control code or character -- for example,
        press CTRL/L for form feed or CTRL/[ for escape.

 o  QUOTE enters the character according to the current mode of the buffer
    as shown in the status line.  In insert mode, the character is inserted
    at the current position.  In overstrike mode, it replaces the current
    character.  Some control codes appear as a backwards question mark.

 o  You can also use QUOTE in entering strings for FIND, REPLACE, or
    WILDCARD FIND commands.  For example, if you set the tab mode to spaces
    or movement, you can find tab characters as follows:

       1.  Use FIND or WILDCARD FIND.
       2.  Press CTRL/V (or a key you have defined as QUOTE).
       3.  Press the TAB key or CTRL/I for the tab character.

 o  If you use the VAXTPU built-in DEFINE_KEY to define a typing key
    (letter, number, or punctuation mark) or a control key, you can use
    QUOTE to enter the character or control code normally bound to that
    key.  For example, if you defined the tilde to execute a procedure, you
    insert a tilde character by doing the following:

       1.  Use the QUOTE command or press CTRL/V.
       2.  Type the tilde (~).
