Yes, that is neat, but we have to worry about \n  
and its pals.  Also, \" is familar to most programmers.

good deal.

Yep.  The syntax has very much taken shape unless
someone finds a monkey-wrench.  I'm starting to 
work on the specification -- and I will first post
an outline and then I'll start heading for the
first draft in the next 4 hours (at 8 I have
mandatory, externally imposed social time...
as if this isn't social... *grin*)

On a related topic, I'd be interested in what
