Since you're probably putting all this into a file, most editors
allow you to put in a control character by entering its ASCII
code.

For the VAX, if you're using the EDT editor (or EVE -- a
_GOOD_ editor -- with the SET KEYPAD EDT enabled, I don't 
know how to use the default EVE keypad off hand) try:

<PF1>27<PF1><KP3>

Where: <PF1> is the PF1 (gold) dey on the keypad
and    <KP3> is the 3 key ON THE KEYPAD

Since 27 is the ASCII code for <ESC> this should do it.

Similarily, since ^A is ASCII 1, I guess ^V should be ASCII 22

Well, let's just hope this works!
Best of luck,
