[jawsscripts] Re: Putting a slash at the end of a text string

Jackie,

Yes, everything in the code works normally until I put the string that 
has the slash at the end. Then I'm given a message telling me that I 
haven't added the closing quotes, which I have. I also tried this with a 
TypeString function as well as with the string as a variable. Neither 
works. In both cases the slash causes the error message and removing the 
slash allows it to compile normally.
