Hm. It works for me too, though it fails to echo the escape prettily,
which is why I assumed it didn't work when I first tried ^Q.
Now, any idea how I can get arbitrary characters into a string? In
particular, I want to load oem-logo, and need some characters I can't
type (0xff in particular). ^Q works only for characters one can type.
Or is there some way to do this through /dev/eeprom or /dev/openprom or
whatever it's called? If indeed such a thing is implemented (I haven't
looked yet)?
