E escape sequence

Description
The \e escape sequence allows an 8-bit EBCDIC code to be entered at the terminal. The two characters following the \e must be hexadecimal values.

This is normally used to ensure that a specific EBCDIC code is inserted. Plain text is translated from the local workstation's locale to EBCDIC depending on the host code page, so different code pages may result in different EBCDIC translations.

Examples
Enter the string. String("st\e81r")
