Imbedded spaces inside the label are treated as optional syntax elements.  The

.helpd  ESCAPE
.q _.DEFINE ESCAPE "escape label" [,modifiers] definition
.ifnot hlp
.p.x DEFINE>ESCAPE
defines escape sequences for control of a variety of printers. Each escape
sequence is indicated in the text by either _\ or _^  or a symbol of your
choice followed by another symbol.  For example _^_* can enable bolding by
issuing a sequence to turn on bolding and _\_* may disable bolding by issuing a
turn off sequence.  The escape sequence is entered as follows. First you
select which 2 character label. The first character must be either _^,_\, or
your flag character, while the second one may be any other character. They are
entered as a literal.  
.ifnot small
For example the label _^_* may be entered as "_^_*" or
'_^_*' or "_^","_*". Your flag character is defined by the _.FLAGS ESCAPE
command. 
.p
If you change the uppercase flag from _^ or the lowercase flag from _/
then the new uppercase and lowercase flags may be the first character of an
escape sequence.  You must pick your upper/lowercase flags via a _.FLAGS 
command before defining the escape sequences.
.p
Next the modifiers are entered.  These define how the escape sequence is
handled.

.i-5; LCK - escape sequence is a lock/unlock pair.
.ifnot hlp
.ifnot small
For example if _^_* and _\_* are defined as a lock/unlock pair, then the
first appearance of _^_* will "lock" this feature on and a subsequent
appearance of _^_* will be ignored if _\_* is not used in between them.
Effectively the lock is _^_* and unlock is _\_*.
In addition this allows RNO to control these sequences to prevent them from
acting on the headers.  They will only change the text, much in the same way
the underline flag works.
Only 16 escape sequences may be declared LCK.
If a line contains only the "lock" sequence then the unlock sequence will
be automatically output at the end off the line.  The next line will then
be automatically preceeded by the lock sequence.
This continues till the input text contains the "unlock" sequence flag.
If you define a sequence which changes the character style it should
always be defined as a lock/unlock pair.  An example of changed character
style is hardware underlining, shadow printing, bolding, font changes,
or ribbon color changes.
.p
The LCK attribute can be used to automatically output sequences at the
beginning and end of each line.  This can be useful if you have a printer
which doesn't respond to CR,LF but uses some other control character.
The control character may be output at the end (or beginning) of each line
as half of a lock/unlock pair.

.i-5; VSP,spacing - escape sequence changes vertical position by spacing.
.ifnot hlp
.ifnot small
This allows you to define a sequence which changes the vertical position.
The spacing parameter is specified in half lines with 1 being
1/2 line advance, -1 is 1/2 line backwards.
.endif small
.endif hlp
.i-5; HSP,spacing - sequence modifies the horizontal position by spacing.
.ifnot hlp
.ifnot small
You may define a sequence which modifies the horizontal position.
Sequences which modify the position are considered printable characters
,while sequences without HSP are considered attribute changes.  If
a space follows an escape sequence it will be deleted from the output
(while in fill mode) if HSP is not defined.
.endif small
.endif hlp
.i-5; PSP - The horizontal spacing specified by HSP is applied to all
printable characters following the escape sequence.
.ifnot hlp
.ifnot small
This attribute modifies the HSP attribute.  You can define a sequence
which changes the character width, and let RNO know what the new width is.
The width may only be 0,1,2,... or multiples of the normal width.
If the HSP is specified as a number other than 1, certains aspects of fill
are disabled.  Spaces will not be expanded if necessary to justify.  Only
"normal" spaces with HSP=1 are expanded unless _.VARIABLE SPACING is enabled. 
This allows imbedding extra wide text inside normal text, or centering extra
wide text.  A whole line of extra wide text can not be justified, but a mixed
line of normal and wide can be justified. 
.if PROP
.p
A negative spacing value indicates a proportional font.
The actual width occupied by a character in the font will be CH*SP/n
where CH=character width, SP=width of a space, n=current spacing.
Using the _.DEFINE CHARACTER, _.DEFINE UNITS and _.DEFINE ESCAPE allows
complete control over the current font.
.p
.endif prop
If an escape sequence changes the permanent spacing to a value other than 1
then it should also have the attribute LCK.  Failure to do this will
mess up a varitey of things including underlining and margins.
.endif small

.i-5; CHR - The lock/unlock pair is used to change only 1 printable character.
.ifnot small

This attribute is used only if the lock/unlock pair is designed to function

in a _.FLAGS SPECIAL command.

Then following this the escape sequence is entered.  Printable characters
may be entered as literals ('This is a literl'), while non printable
must be entered as a decimal value.
The numbers and literals may be separated by blanks,tabs, and or commas.
Two commas in a row constitute a null and are illegal.
If you define an escape sequence twice in your text only the first
definition will be obeyed unless you reset escape before the second one.
The second definition will cause an error message.
.p
If you use a large number of different escape sequences frequently,
you should define the most commonly used ones first.  This will
increase the speed with which RUNOFF can find them.
.p; Escape sequences can be very trickey. To use them intelligently
the following rules will be helpful.

.le If a font switch results in a pitch change which is not an even multiple
of the normal font, you must handle this change manually.  If such a change

.le If a single font is used throughout then no attributes need be defined
for the font change.
.le Never use letters after _^ or ^/ when defining escape sequence labels.
Combinations like _^A will defeat the uppercase flag for the letter "A", and
_/A defeats the lowercase flag for "A". You may not intend using either the
uppercase flag or lowercase flag, but you will probably need them. 
.le Escape sequences may be used inside substitutions, but you should
be careful to use the proper options.
.le;Escape sequences can interact badly with the equation formatting if you
are not careful.  Each partial line advance is noted, and the equation 
formatting will shift the equations to allow for subscripts and superscripts.
If you move characters up or down by smaller than 1/2 lines then you should
probably not specify the actual vertical movement (VSP).
.le;Some sequences may conflict with DEC device handler conventions.    In
particular XON(17) or XOFF(19) will be intercepted by the device handler for
RSX or VMS.  These codes should be avoided in escape sequence definitions. If
these control codes must be used then the terminal should be in passall mode
or the output must be directly to the device with the /TT option. Other
control codes such as TAB(9) may be passed directly to the device by setting
the characteristics of the device.

careful mixing these commands with _.TEXT DEFERRED. The text deferred command
can cause the output text to appear on another page, or in another section of

only give the correct page number after the text has been output.
The actual page number may be off by 1 page even in 2 pass mode,

To always work correctly an infinite pass mode would be necessary.
As a practical matter, you can help RNO by defining the label to be

A special convention is used to define DSR compatible substitutions.
If the first character of the substitution name is a dollar sign,
the dollar sign stands for
the substitute flag.  If the substitute flag is changed to a character other
than the dollar sign then the defined substitution is considered to begin with
the new substitute flag.  When the substitution is searched for,
the case of the input characters is ignored.
An example of such a substitution is the _$_$DATE permanently
defined substitution.

The substitution is a really invaluable aid for defining

overstrike symbols and so on to construct the special symbol needed.
.helpe  Warning
.note WARNING
You should always define substitutions with labels that do not contain other
substitute labels.  For example the labels ABC and A while unique will cause
you no ends of problems. The first label ABC contains the second label.  As a
result the construction _$ABC could be ambiguous. Did you intend the
substitution _$A followed by the letters BC or the substitutions _$ABC? The
easy way around this problem is to always terminate each substitution with a
terminal character.  It is suggested that the substitute flag character be
used.  You would then define A_$ and ABC_$ as the labels.  The typist would
then type _$ABC_$ for one substitution and _$A_$BC for the other followed by
BC.
