OK, in csh, I want to have this string echo'd... ^[=@'^[H8
Problem being, I can't get the ' to be echo'd.
(I am putting this command into a shell script.)
If I use the command...
echo '=@'H8'
...it thinks the string to be echo'd ends at the second '
If I use the command...
echo '=@\'H8'
...it sees the \ as a character, thus moving the the wrong
cursor position (this is a terminal plotting command).
Any ideas?
