It's been explained to you that while there is a character named ESC in EBCDIC, almost the only thing it shares with the ASCII ESC is the spelling of it's name. If I've followed the discussion correctly, it's barely even used, and not for any of the same purposes as the ASCII ESC. I doubt that you'll ever receive a fuller explanation than that. I doubt that there is a fuller explanation to be given. If that were in fact the case, what kind of reply, beyond what you've already been given, would be both truthful and satisfying to you? -- James Kuyper
