Control Command

All 7-bit control characters, i.e. characters with ASCII codes in the range HEX 00 to 1F inclusive, may be represented using a control command. The control command has the following format:

 ^c

"^" is the default control character and "c" is the control character specifier. The control character specifier is an ASCII graphics character with an ASCII code in the range HEX 40 (ASCII "@") to 5F (ASCII "_"). The compiler will apply the bottom 6 bits only, to generate an ASCII code in the range HEX 00 to 1F.

For example, the ASCII bell character (ASCII code HEX 07), is represented by "^G".
