ER (EDIT_RAW) *DM* -- Insert raw character.
usage: er nn


FORMAT

  ER nn


  The ER command sends a raw character to a program.  The single
  argument nn (required) is a 1- or 2-character hexadecimal value
  which defines the single byte sent to the active program the next
  time the program requests input.  The data byte is not echoed anywhere
  on the display.  In effect, this command delivers a single raw keystroke
  to a program.

  This command can be used by programs that need to define keys to return
  known values for actions by the programs.

  This command differs from the other text insertion commands in that
  is does NOT insert the hexadecimal character into an edit pad.  Its sole
  function is to pass a hexadecimal character to a running program.
