I know that when connected via Telnet, I can hit Ctrl+] to escape. This brings me to the telnet command line interface. How do I get back to my telnet session?
I occasionally hit Ctrl+] by accident and would like to resume my work. I use telnet on all three major machines (MacOS, Windows, & Linux).
Note that I am not trying to quit telnet; I just want to resume my session.

Just press return, to leave the prompt and go back to your session.

Ahhgh! (hits head against screen) So simple! The prompt doesn't redisplay, so it looks like it's hung. But you are absolutely right. I knew there had to be some simple solution. Thanks! – Scott Biggs – 2015-05-25T14:05:23.807
It's something that I noticed a while back, when there was less documentation. I can see that it is documented, e.g., Microsoft: To return to the Telnet session, press ENTER.

It could be a duplicate, but none of the suggested answers seem that simple... – Thomas Dickey – 2015-05-22T23:33:13.580
1How could anybody think that this question is a duplicate of that one? They're complete opposites! One is "How do I do *A* without doing *B*?", and the other is "How do I do *B* without doing *A*?". – Scott – 2015-06-14T05:30:34.900
