[ILUG] Minicom scripting (control chars)

[Stephen Reilly]

Hi,
	I've checked the runscript man page and the web for 
this and found pointers to various places almost telling me 
how to do it. I want to send a ctrl-f to a remote device via 
the serial port every two seconds while watching what's 
received from same. The raw form of the script I'm using is:

START:
    send ^f
    sleep 2
goto start

It executes and loops every two seconds. While I can't see 
what is being received at the other end it appears not to be 
a ctrl-f. (^f on the device should be clearing the screen but 
is resulting in errors). Do any of you know for certain how 
to send control characters in this manner, I've played with 
quotes to no avail?

Regards,
Stephen
