A book that I was skimming over last evening, Applesoft BASIC for the Apple
II & IIe by Lois Graff, stated at least twice that I could press Escape,
then L to get a BASIC listing, but only on the Apple IIe. I had never heard
of this, so I got up to try it on the computer that I had set up then: the
Apple IIgs. It did not work.

Anyone know more about this Escape sequence?

Wouldn't that require GPLE?

I tried on Apple IIe, //c ROM35, IIgs ROM1, with Applesoft BASIC 1.5
and with integer basic: don't work.
On the //c with integer basic, the escape key change the cursor into an
inverse '+', then the following character seem to be interpreted as
CTRL-(following key).

I've never heard of it as a built-in feature of Applesoft on any Apple
II. It sounds like a third party macro add-on of some kind, which the
author may have forgotten she had installed. Possibly something from
Beagle Bros?

The firmware supports Esc to get into cursor movement mode and interact
with the 80-column firmware (e.g Esc Ctrl-Q to terminate the 80-column
firmware and return to the 40-column firmware), but all of those
commands deal with the display and don't issue BASIC commands.

on my rom 255 //c esc puts an inverse + cursor which only reacts to
the arrow keys for cursor position, any other key reverts back to
the ] prompt
