   Generally, it's character 0xC, Form Feed. To insert it into your file, try   
   typing Alt+12 (on the number pad) in your editor:   
      
     text text text blah blah blah   
     [Alt+12]   
     text text text blah blah blah   
      
   (Don't literally type "[Alt+12]", hold Alt and type "12" on the keypad.)   
      
   To do it in a batch:   
      
     echo Hello,[Alt+12]world!>textfile.txt   
      
   Results may vary. (For example, my text editor replaces low-ASCII characters   
   with '?'.)
