[GreenKeys] Test sequences

[David Christ]

In a model 15 this causes a complete reversal of the code bars for 
each letter.  Makes everything jump.  It is not so extreme a test for 
a 28.

My manuals for test sets are out in my workshop but there is a 4 to 6 
character sequence that prints a repeating pattern on the tape.  RY 
is easy to read on a tape too.

Stretching my memory back to my MARS days 40 years ago, I think that 
NNNN was the standard end of message sequence used by the navy.
