Summary: Set the high bit


It's been at least 6 years since I've touched RSTS/E, but as I recall, if
you set the high bit on the character code, RSTS does no translation on it.
Thus, instead of CHR$(27), use CHR$(128+27).

Again, this was a long time ago, and since then, DEC has introduced multi-
national terminals that do use the high bit, so things may have changed.
