I'm only wondering why Lua writes the string "\027..." to the screen, with the same effect. Can it have something to do with the encoding? (ascii, iso-8859-1, unicode)
No. In all these charsets <esc> := 27d, 0x1b, 033o. Therefore the reason can only be that Lua doesn't convert \027 to octal, but to decimal. All these string escapes are a matter of the language specs and can vary between HLLs.
Thanks again, klaas-jan
