The way C uses escape sequences inside of a string to represent undisplayable characters is short, sweet and to the point.
Consider BASIC vs C
C: "Brent,\nHow are You?"
VB: "Brent," & vbCrLf & "How are You?"
The C way is superior for a couple of reasons: (1) it takes fewer keystrokes. (2) It requires no runtime concatenation to be performed before the string can be used.
So, I think that APe should follow suit with C and use basically the same escape sequences.
