Two suggestions:

1) In your .kermrc file, put in a line like this:

	set escape-character 29

to change the default escape character.  29 (decimal) is the ASCII code for
control-], just like what telnet uses.  RTFM.

2) Complain to NeXT for not shipping the product that they advertise.  Look
closely at all of the glossies and see if you ever see a ``new'' keyboard
attached to a NeXTstation.  Let me not digress with futher keyboard flames.
