Turning off the '?' in IOS

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to temporarily turn off the interactive help feature that you get by pressing '?' in IOS?

I am trying to enter a URL into a DDNS update method like so:

add http://jchajecki: snipped-for-privacy@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=millcorner.ath.cx&myip=

Every time the parser hits the '?' in the URL, it interprets it as the help command and breaks the line.

try putting a backslash before the ?

Before typing the "?" hit CTRL-v

-DW

Merv,

Tried that one. An instinct gained from regular expressions! Sorry. It didn't work in this case.

David,

Thanks. I knew there must be a control sequence or something to do this. That worked fine.

PS. Sorry about the double post.
