	I would not use the words 'have to' -- you do have an option
	than "find that d**n esc key".
	Once I used an old Mac as a terminal and there was no ESC 
	key on it.  Till then I realized that you could use
		ctrl-[

	For some keyboards ESC is located in 'rural' area and ctrl-[
	is often easier to complish for me as a 'ctrl-key' user.
        (Keyboards like SGI's machine, Toshiba laptops).
