Do you happen to know if there's a built-in way of getting the ESCape key?

I was thinking that *vi* could save the day here.
Code:
cd sbin
vi preinit
[ use arrow keys, they should work ]
turn STATE=`getbootstate`
into  STATE=USER
[somehow press ESC]
:wq (the ":" is also there, so it should work)
I'll read up on vi and see if there's a way to edit something useful (a single character would be fine, when rd_mode is checked before rebooting on malfunction).

Needless to say: any suggestions from anyone are welcome!
