 The ASC nokeypad command inserts a specified character into the buffer
 at the cursor position.  Use the count field to indicate the decimal
 code of the character you want to insert.  Characters are coded using
 the DEC Multinational Character Set; codes 0 to 127 are the same as
 ASCII.

 Format: [count]ASC

 The ASC command is the only way to insert a carriage return into the
 middle of a line of text; otherwise, insert commands always treat the
 carriage return as a line terminator.  The following command would
 insert a carriage return:

     13ASC   (13 is the code for carriage return)
