   control characters

   I need to repurpose 6 ASCII control characters to be used   
   for Vietnamese display characters. I don't like the 6 that   
   VISCII chose. I don't want to give up anything that is used   
   in the software I use, including micro-emacs keystrokes.   
   Here is the list:   
      
   0 - ctrl-@ - used by C etc.   
   1 - ctrl-A - used by micro-emacs   
   2 - ctrl-B - AVAILABLE   
   3 - ctrl-C - used to break programs   
   4 - ctrl-D - used to indicate EOF in Unix   
   5 - ctrl-E - used by micro-emacs   
   6 - ctrl-F - ACK - may be AVAILABLE   
   7 - ctrl-G - used by micro-emacs and to beep   
   8 - ctrl-H - used as backspace   
   9 - ctrl-I - tab   
   A - ctrl-J - newline   
   B - ctrl-K - used by micro-emacs   
   C - ctrl-L - used by micro-emacs   
   D - ctrl-M - carriage return   
   E - ctrl-N - AVAILABLE   
   F - ctrl-O - AVAILABLE   
   10 - ctrl-P - AVAILABLE   
   11 - ctrl-Q - used for XON   
   12 - ctrl-R - formfeed, AVAILABLE   
   13 - ctrl-S - XOFF and used by micro-emacs   
   14 - ctrl-T - AVAILABLE   
   15 - ctrl-U - NAK - may be AVAILABLE   
   16 - ctrl-V - used by micro-emacs, but if page-down works can be made available   
   17 - ctrl-W - used by nano - may be AVAILABLE   
   18 - ctrl-X - used by micro-emacs   
   19 - ctrl-Y - used by micro-emacs   
   1A - ctrl-Z - used for EOF by MSDOS   
   1B - ctrl-[ - ESC   
   1C - ctrl-\ - used by Unix to kill process   
   1D - ctrl-] - used by Telnet to get prompt   
   1E - ctrl-^ - AVAILABLE   
   1F - ctrl-_ - AVAILABLE   
      
   I think we're in business. 7 available control characters   
   when we only need 6. I'd say we leave ctrl-B alone as I   
   think some people use that.
