the non-elegant way:
trace( "C:\Documents and
Settings\never\return".split("\D").join("\\D").split("\r").join("\\r").split("\n").join("\\n")
);
eh...
of course you'd really have to include all the possible escape chars
to deal with this correctly - and of course then you'd have to
consider the time to split/join all the chars...
