Actually, it's Esc @.

No, you don't need the 80-column card...most of them work just fine in 40-
column mode.

Esc @, and Esc A through Esc F, are there all the time, in every Apple II
model.  Esc I, J, K, and M are missing from the original Apple II, but are
present in the Apple II Plus and every subsequent Apple II.  The Esc
Arrow-key feature was introduced with the Apple IIe.

Also introduced with the Apple IIe were Esc 4, Esc 8, Esc Ctrl-D, Esc
Ctrl-E, and Esc Ctrl-Q, but unlike the others, these are only available
after PR#3.

Esc 8 doesn't require a preceding PR#3 on the Apple IIGS.  It may work that
way on the Apple IIc as well, but I'm not sure about that.
