Break it into separate variables and echo them together.  For example:

:setvar esc chr(27)
:setvar part2 "f211P<!"
:setvar part3 "149>"
:echo !esc!part2!part3

                Subject:        [HP3000-L] Remap the num pad ENTER key to
work like RETURN

                I'm trying to replace a vplus screen with a script that will
accomplish the
                same functionality. The users are conditioned to use the num
pad ENTER key,
                not the RETURN key.

                I have attempted to echo the escape sequence
(esc)&f211P<!149> (literally,
                including <, >, and ! characters) without success. It seems
as though !nnn
                is an abbreviated form of the DO command. I've never seen
nor heard of this
                before, but thats a different subject. When I echo this
string, I get
                an 'invalid numeric redo index' message.

                Any advice is greatly appreciated.
