My .02:

I've seen ^D, ^G, ^M, and a few others in BASIC programs before.
Bugged me for a long time that in a game I had on a PD disk, one line
was 530 PRINT "YOU WON", and each time the program got it it it beeped
5 times!!  I set breakpoints up all over trying to figure out how to
make it beep.  I'd never made my apple make a sound before.  I finally
read a book that told how to put beeps in a print statement .
