The backslash should be cool to escape quotes and other uses may be: \n (LF), \t (TAB), and so on, like Perl.

At the start of my apps I just put q$=chr(34), so taking your example
above I would then do it as MessageRequester("",q$+"test"+q$,0).

work-around for including that character in
your output!

for example, if / is the escape character
then I have to output // to output the / character!
