But no-one replied, so I'll ask again:

Compile this (it only takes 1 second):

#SWITCHES sv5x;
[ Main; box "Hello"; Key(); box "@@92@@92@@92@@92@@92"; Key(); quit; ];
[ Key k; print "[Press a key]^^"; @read_char 1 k; ];
#END;

Notice the second box is far too wide, taking each '\' to be four characters,
presumably because of the `@@92' notation.
