Thanks for the quick response. I presume then that to set this attribute would require directly editing the xml file since Vergil would not expose the StringAttribute as a visible (and therefore configurable) attribute. Is that true?
Thanks - Jim

Assuming you are writing your own actor, the easiest way to deal with this is to
use a StringAttribute instead of a Parameter.
This issue comes up in other contexts as well... for example, if you have a string with
octal codes in it, the expression parser properly substitutes them into the string,
However, StringToken does not convert non-printable characters back into escape codes...

Is there a clean way to pass a string parameter to an actor without it being interpreted as an expression? I have a situation where I want the actor to do the interpretation, complete with semantically significant embedded newlines. If I enter something with "\" and \"" surrounding the text, it will get entered. But all the newlines appear stripped.
Suggestions? I suppose I can read it from a file instead but it is a bit indirect.
Thanks - Jim
