+Using control characters in a SUBMIT file
+-----
+
+        Question:  How  do I enter control characters into a SUBMIT file?
+The instructions on page 28 of the CP/M manual do not seem to work.
+
+        Answer:  SUBMIT requires you to enter '^z' to place a CTRL Z in the
+file.  The problem comes in that SUBMIT also converts all characters to
+uppercase.  The following patch suggested by Digital Research will  modify
+SUBMIT to require '^Z'.

+
+        This alternate patch will allow lowercase characters to be entered
+which is also extremely helpful when using XSUB and ED with strings that
+require lowercase characters.

+
+        The following example submit file (using only the alternate patch)
+uses ED to search a file and replace all lowercase strings 'recieve' with
+'receive'.
+
+xsub
+ed file.doc
+#a
+b#srecieve^zreceive
+e
+
+        It should be mentioned that in no case can the control characters
+'^P' or '^C' be used in a submit file to obtain the normal functions of
+console input for printer toggle or warm start.
