Parseing PCL5

State Description
1. NotinPCL
2. Seen an Escape
3. Loaded a 2 char command
4. Loaded last term of commnd
5. Loaded last term with binary data
6. Loaded a term, another term waiting
7. Loaded a term with binary data, another term waiting

State First Second Value Parm Command Left in Buffer
3 X <esc>X
4 x X # X <esc>x#X
4 x X X <esc>xX
4 x y # Z <esc>xy#Z
6 x y # z <esc>xy#z#Z #Z
