sam(1) says ``Text may be typed and edited as in rio(1);
also the escape key (ESC) selects (sets dot to) text typed
since the last mouse button hit.''
rio(1) has a subsection titled ``Text windows.''
Ctrl-0 isn't a real control sequence (if you look at the output
of "ascii", the valid control characters are A through _).
What byte are you trying to type?
You cannot detect the press of the Alt key - the
kernel does that as part of its keyboard handling.
