John,
It's not undocumented. It's documented in atleast two places on
the DocCD.

Designating a Keystroke as a Command Entry
You can configure the system to recognize particular keystroke (key
combination or sequence) as command aliases. In other words, you can set
a keystroke as a shortcut for executing a command. To enable the system
to interpret a keystroke as a command, use the either of the following
key combinations before entering the command sequence:
Keystrokes Purpose
Ctrl-V or Esc, Q
Configures the system to accept the following keystroke as a
user-configured command entry (rather than as an editing command).

Can contain the question mark (?) character if you precede the question
mark with the key combination Crtl-v when you create the password; for
example, to create the password abc?123, do the following:
-Enter abc.
-Type Crtl-v.
-Enter ?123.

Hello James,
This is one of those things that is undocumented, you have to hit a
ctrl-v, then put in the question mark.

Hi,
Sorry if this was asked before... been googling for the past 20 minutes
and
ran out of patience :(

interpret
that as command help request?
Thanks!
