|  ESC codes
I just noticed that ESC+L (enable screen scrolling) and ESC+M (disable screen scrolling) are not listed in our list of Escape Key Codes. Aren't these listed in the usual BASIC introductory books?

B is also missing and C is not worded correct to the manual.
I'll list them as they are in the Plus/4 User Manual... Page 29 (UK small bound version)
A - Automatic insert mode
B - Set the bottom right corner of the screen window (at the current cursor location)
C - Cancel automatic insert mode
D - Delete current line
I - Insert a line
J - Move to the beginning of the current line
K - Move to the end of the current line
L - Turn on scrolling
M - Turn off scrolling
N - Return to normal screen display size
O - Cancel insert, quote, reverse, and flash modes
P - Erase everything up to the cursor position on the current line
Q - Erase everything up to the end of the current line from cursor position
R - Reduce screen display
T - Set the top left corner of the screen window
V - Scroll screen up
W - Scroll screen down
X - Cancel the escape function
------------
Also under this is a small section on "Special Symbols" listing.
English Pound Sign (£)
pi ( π )
greater and less than ( < ) ( > )
brackets ([])
and arrows - shows Arrow UP
Does not list what they do and just says they are used for programming your Plus/4.
PS.
Not sure if you can read this on PC as it was made for Amiga, digital version of the Plus/4 User Manual. It was a download once on the old site.

Do a search at the top of the page for, "Commodore Manual" and the proper download will show up then.

Just and addition:
ref. ESC codes: X can be substituted by any of the alphabetic letters not listed above (for example ESC-E, ESC-Z) etc.

Yeah, I guess it was an oversight. I added them (L+M).
Looks like "B" was already there... For "C", "Automatic insert mode off" is pretty clear I think  Also, this sentence was already there: "(Officially it is the X, but you can use any alphabetical letter different than the above listed)"
Thanks guys

At a glance it looked like it was alpha order just like the manual. 
C was not clear for lack of never using any ESC commands so was best I copied the bible for peace of mind even if the bible is not very good.
