First, unless I'm terribly confused, it goes into the key equiv
field, and the menu ID goes into the mark char field.

1.	On keyboards with an escape key (SE, II kbds), just type
	<esc>.  This works.
2.	Put a character you'll recognize into the right field,
	close the menu being edited, open it again using the
	"Open General" which opens a hex window (hex on left, ascii
	on right), find your character, select the hex version of it,
	and type "1B".
3.	Derez it, and put the constant "hierarchicalMenu" in the
	field, Rez it again if you can't stand having resource sources.
	Seems to me you could do the same in RMaker: it'll let you
	specify an arbitrary hex value (\1b?).
