Agree, ESC() would occur when ?c..c is done. (I was stuck in an older 
untested idea before ?c..c)

ESC() is a version of ?c..c that allows escapes while Exec 
QuoteEscape is OFF.

So, how would you do the following with "Exec QuoteEscape OFF" and 
always OFF without a new command.

Exec QuoteEscape OFF
c=ESC(\r\n\d008)

and get CR LF and hex 08 in the character c,

or

EVENT.Create(2,10,"EVENT.DestroyThis"++ESC(\r)++Messagebox...

and get a CarriageReturn?


The key to this idea, is that Exec QuoteEscape is OFF and the only 
things escaped are what I enclose in the command. No more accidental 
escapes, because what we want to have escaped is always and only 
inside ESC() because "Exec QuoteEscape OFF".

Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining myself.
