	Has anyone had to write some sort of an editor, and had to deal
with the escape key carrying on several meanings (i.e. the escape
sequences, and the key itself).  I was wondering if someone can help
me figure out what is a good way to implement this.  And, does anyone
know how "vi" deals with this problem?

Paul
