Table 10-1	Using Escape Characters in RCF Commands
		Characters to Produce	Input
		ABcd	\a\bcd
	[ ]		\( \)
		\a	\\a
	\[		\\\(

The escape characters you would normally use on the HP-UX command line, to prevent the HP-UX shell from interpreting special characters, are not required with RCF. For example, do not use escape characters with strings containing the characters * or $, as you would when entering them on the HP-UX command line. Also, when using SPCF to issue administration commands, be aware that constant names such as LIST_FROM_NEXT are not case-sensitive. You do not need to escape these characters to make them uppercase.
