Re: Using non-printable characters in passwords

[Birl <sbirl () temple edu>]

Although I very much value the 4 responses I have received so far, I think
I should clarify my original question better:

Are there any other keys (or combination thereof) besides, CTRL or ALT,
that can be used?

Another question, it is possible to use CTRL + ALT +  <key>  at the
same time?   Where, obviously, <key> != DEL     :p

Third question:  Any good docs on CTRL combinations?

Right now Im limited to ^n  (avoiding ^a ^c ^e ^h ^i ^j ^m ^q ^s ^u ^?
etc. for obvious UNIX reasons)


Thanks again.
