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'.
A>ddt submit.com
DDT VERS 2.2
NEXT PC
0600 0100
-s442
0442 61 41
0443 32 .
-g0
A>save 5 submit.com
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.
