Hi Alan, There is something I want to know your opinion about before asking to Bruce. Well, I hesitated to suggest this, since I was one of the voters for \ and not sure about whether it requires a further work to Bruce. He's already done a lot of work, more than needed: perfect support "/" as a path delimiter, ?c...c, ESC(...,_esc_) etc regarding the escape characters. However, as far as I can see, it seems to require no further work to Bruce. But, it might require much work to others. What I want to suggest is a new poll about the escape char again! :) However, at this time: <null> as the escape char 1) Newbies often seem to miss the need of the escape char 2) " to be escaped seems to be easily done with ?c...c 3) There seems actually no need to escape the expression follow char &. PP seems to handle them perfectly well, I mean, PP knows well whether & is the expression char or just a normal char. 4) \r \n \t \xnn \dnnn: These can be readily escaped using ESC(...,_esc_). Well, at least they will be needed only when sharing with others, and I don't think it will become much work to enclose them in ESC(...,_esc_) when sharing. The only trouble seems to be "\+", but I saw "\+" omitted in the help file anyway. What is your opinion? Is it too late? Sean ------------------------ Yahoo!
