parsing strings

hello, there seems to be a problem when parsing multi-line strings: in the first string there is no space after the \, while in the second there is. i tried this on linux, with the july version of hugs.

probelm = "hello \ \world"

noproblem = "hello \ \world"

the error i get is: "Illegal character escape sequence "\w" bye iavor -- ================================================== | Iavor S.
