I've been using Red Ryder (version 10.3) for a few days as a terminal
emulator and have come across a couple of questions that the documentation
I have available doesn't answer.  I was hoping that someone out there
in net-land could help...

  1. Due to the funny protocol of the cisco ethertip, I need to be
     able to generate Control-^ characters from the keyboard.  I
     cannot do this with either Command-Shift-6, Command-6, Option-6
     [as the documentation lists], or any variation thereof.  I *have*
     added it to the control button set on the "General Status Bar",
     but that's kinda clunky.  What am I doing wrong?

  2. In some of my macros I would like to have carriage return
     characters embedded (like "ATDT5551212^M") but again, nothing
     I try seems to work.  Is this beyond what the macros can have?
     If not, how do you escape the <return> key to have it added to
     the text?

  3. Also, is there any way, when I have "[`] sends escape sequence"
     turned on, to send a back quote without fiddling with the 
     Customize/Keyboard Mapping Preferences options?  (is there some
     way to map "clear" [I'm on a Mac Plus] to escape?  That'd be
     great!)

Overall, I must admit that RR is an excellent terminal emulator/comm 
package!  I like it much better than any of the other similar programs
I've tried...

			Thanks!
