Hi,

this is absolutely correct.
As a quote is a special character, it is escaped with a backslash.

To prove it, try


display dialog (ASCII character 34)
#3

The backslash is an escape character.

If you want to see the code returned without the escape character.


display dialog ASCII character 34

Cheers,

Craig
