hi,
is there already any way of having a backslash in a message (box)? i
found some ancient stone carvings about that issue (pd-list 2002).
miller said back then:
Good idea... Maybe, just "addcomma" would be best. I'm against adding a general escape mechanism, because I think it's better to find a design that obviate teh need for it...

well .. actually if pd does not escape i got to escape for myself.
that means that i need to find a replacement character for \ in order
to translate it then back to . if i take # as replacement and
someone facing the same problems takes § then we end up with a lot
more mess than using the backslash in pd can result in.
