How can I put cursor characters into a file (.login)??

[mjw]

I would like to put the command setkey 12 "rt-arrow rt-arrow" into the .login file.

How can I edit a file with vi and put the 'rt-arrow or left-arrow character into the document?

THanks Michael

one way would to use awk
printf("setkey 12 %c%c%c%c",0x22,0xra,0xra,0x22)

where ra is hex code for right arrow.

could get file on windows, and use debug in command, and then send back.

it's easier to go into "vi"
add your line that says setkey 12 "<R-Arrow><R-Arrow>"
now where u want the <R-Arrow> command type in
<Control-V> then press the <Right-Arrow> on the K/b

Will only work if you use the same Terminal setup throughout the system tho.

I knew there was a way, just could not remember what it was.
