control chars in script

I'm sure its simple but I can't find it so I'm turning to you once again.

I want to pass a control-k# in a string.
Example

if {true} {
puts "(cntl-k)4 Do not reply to this message."
}

thanks in advance!

you don't want ctrl+k, you want what mirc output when ctrl+k is pressed, which is ascii symbol 03, which can be used in tcl by using its escaped octal notation (ie 03)

one more question.
is there a chart of the octal notations?
for example the control codes?
I've been searching the net and can't find one.

mirc codes (in octal)

001 = ctcp
002 = bold
003 = colour
017 = reset (aka turn off all previous codes)
026 = inverse
037 = underline
