Sending control characters to PuTTY

Slightly OT, but I'm getting bored of sending this sequence of
characters to my terminal server, especially when accessing my gear
over unreliable Internet connections.

r1
<enter>
<ctrl><shift>6, x
r2
<enter>
<ctrl><shift>6, x
r3
<enter>
<ctrl><shift>6, x
[...]
and so on, through r4-r6 and sw1-sw4.

Does anyone have a clever way of scripting or otherwise automating the
sending of this sequence of characters?

I just tried PuTTYCS but I couldn't get it to send <enter> properly,
and the {%CTRL%} token isn't supported in its script file format. BTW,
this is not something I'm pursuing with the idea of helping me on lab
day.. I don't think 11 seconds of terminal server session setup is
going to make or break me.

Hmmm, I bet I could do it with ZOC! (ahh, OS/2, those were the days)

cheers,
Dale
