The .FLAGS CONTROL and .NO FLAGS CONTROL commands control
recognition of the Control flag character (the period (.) that
begins a DSR command). You can enter .FLAGS CONTROL to change
the character that precedes the commands from a period (.) to a
character of your choice. You can enter .NO FLAGS CONTROL to turn
off recognition of the Control flag character.
NOTE
There is no way to reenable recognition of the Control flag
once you enter the .NO FLAGS CONTROL command.
