[GreenKeys] How to generate LTRS character from PC

[eric]

I have a vague recollection that Jordan's revision of the firmware might 
have had a special character (like % or something) that did this? But I 
could be wrong. It would certainly be easy enough to add to the 
firmware.

Of course you can also put the board in transparent mode where it just 
sends on the bottom 5 bits of anything you send to it. But this means 
you have to deal with the baudot character translation yourself.
