There are several ways to specify these values:

You have the following backslash-codes, which are probably what you see 
almost all the time:

     \n = newline
     \r = carriage return
     \f = form-feed
     \t = tab

There is also "^x" syntax to specify control characters, so "f=^I" would 
specify the TAB character.

And, if you forget, you can always specify the decimal value of the ASCII 
character, so "f=9" would work, too.
