set-esc {argument} {(options}


`argument`	.hexnum	Indicates the key, designated by its corresponding hexadecimal value, to trigger a level push.
	decnum	Indicates the key, designated by its corresponding decimal value, to trigger a level push.
	off	Disables this function by defining escape as x"ff".
	esc	Defines escape as x"1B", the normal value for escape.
`options`	q	Quiet mode does not display output.
