Whoa!! The question was "how to get Uniterm 2.0e to send a carriage return".
The example requested was to get the character string "vax*" sent from f1.

Looking at the macro language section, the syntax is as follows:

    send('vax*\r')         # if you want the CR
    send('vax*\n')         # if you want the NEWLINE

To get it into a function key macro, the macro is %send('vax*\r'),
meaning that you must escape macro-language function calls with '%'.

Note that the string handling stuff also supports "\0xx" for an arbitrary
octal string. Since 7-bit ascii won't fit into 2 octal digits, I believe it
might be HEX and not octal - but I haven't tried anything more than '\r' and
'\n', both fo which work just fine.
