You can use forward slashes instead; even Windows understands that now.

And yes, it is my design.  The backslash is traditionally the escape
character: if you want to add a newline in a string, you say "\n".  If you
have to add a double quote, you have to escape it with a backslash
(otherwise, you wold end the string instead).  And if you want a
backslash, you need to escape it either, obviously.

Hth,
