Oh I am a member,

I started using PowerPro relatively recently (3.8.13 was the most
recent) and when the conversations regarding the escape character came
up I did not contribute my two cents since at that time I was still
trying to get some understanding of how this program works and what it
could do let alone program it. At first I welcomed the thought of a
standard configuration but after running into problems with PP
stripping "\" out of paths for files and programs I have deselected
standard configuration.

At that time I was learning regex for programming templates and
filters for TheBat! and the thought of using "\" for the escape
character seemed a good idea since that is used as the escape
character for TheBat!'s regex.  However, now that I am attempting to
create my own scheduled items, command lists and hot keys I find that
the choice of "\" for the escape character is creating errors and
making complex what should be simple.  In particular I am talking about
processing path information.  I have PowerPro on three different
computers all with different drives setups and was attempting to use
environment variables and descent49's SetEnvironment.vbs file to make
my config readily portable between systems.  Standard Config with "\"
as the escape character makes this task infinitely harder.

The above esc(___,___) function explanation is clear as mud to me and
I am sure others new to PowerPro as well.

what would make sense as an escape function is
esc(message to be processed with the single character following the
comma as the escape char,$)  this makes sense.

To me the ideal escape character is one which is seldom used but also
found printed on a keyboard for ease of access such as accent grave
(`) or tilde (~) Less preferable but would stand out in a line of
characters would be Alt-0167 (=A7).  An alt-nnnn combination for an
escape character would be preferable to "\" but as a newbie I would
not easily remember the alt-code and would have problems entering the
code on my work laptop - alt-numpad codes do not work on my work
laptop without the plug-in numeric keypad in use.
