That's not how edit works. CTRL-P tells it to wait for ANOTHER ctrl-? key.
Another ctrl-p makes a large triangle pointing right, ctrl-q make the opposite
direction, ctrl-a makes a smiley face, etc. Alt-007 is self-dependent. It does
not need ctrl-p and can work from (almost) any text editor or even the DOS
pormpt.
Note: the numbers typed for alt-00? MUST be on the numeric pad.
