^ caret means control key
uppercase lettes cannot be entered with control key
issue 1
no of these can be entered from k/b both interactively nor in a file
^E edit a definition
^H backspace
^L list definitions
^R re-edit
^S print stack
you cannot press ^ and shift and the letter, pressing caps lock does not work either
suggest drop letters to lowercase
issue 2 - optional
^c (break) needs to be added so while testing code one gets into an infinite loop you can break out and keep your mint program still in memory. workaround presss reset button and enter fixed code
note
ASCII code for the Ctrl key itself does not exist, as Ctrl is a modifier key, not a character. However, when used in combination with other characters, it modifies the ASCII code of the character being typed.
In ASCII, when you press Ctrl along with a letter (let's say P), it typically generates a control character by subtracting 64 from the ASCII value of the uppercase letter.
