Well, in fact, I once borrowed someone else's tip session.  I
discovered that ^A acted as a caps-lock, and that one had to type
^P twice to send one.  It was obvious that ^P was being used as an
escape character (it *is* DLE, Data Link Escape, after all).  I
considered this obnoxious enough that I never used it again.  I
had been using Fred Blonder's `x' program; I now use instead my
own `c' (usage: c -l link [-s speed] [-p par] [-e esc]), except
when I need features like transcription.  (`C' has almost no
features, hence nothing to go wrong.)

Well, I did once write a set of Emacs macros to run rogue in an Emacs
window, but the result was too slow to be of any real use.
