[Ken Schrock]

The bracket ( and the other letters are no problem
It is only the printer escape (dec 27, hex 1b) that is a problem
There is no C escape for it like \n or \r but at least in C
You can use /xhh or /ooo as escapes

And yes, are constants really constant in Gambas
And of how much use are constants here anyway
