I have some docs for Scheme that I would like to print out from PPage. Alas, Scheme uses the \ character and when I try to import the file, PPage AE thinks it is seeing a weird formatting command and chokes. How do I "escape" the \ character in a text file? I guess I could just search and replace it with something else, but I don't want ti do that. \exit

Jim, Search for \ and replace with \\. That'll do it. Malcolm

Thanks Malcolm. I couldn't seem to find it in the manual….
