Mutually exclusive. I meant enabling the saving of the control characters from the IDE to the file, not making a file name out of control characters.
So since I can't easily post CHR$(10) here, for example sake, let's say the asterisk, in my example below, is CHR$(10). As such, I cannot get this to save correctly from the IDE as demo.bas
PRINT "*" ' <Remember, that asterisk is actually an inserted CHR$(10) glyph.
Oh sure, it will appear to 'save' it, but now open that file and you'll see it got changed to...
Print ""
" ' <Remember, that asterisk is actually an inserted CHR$(10) glyph.
So it's just about the inability to save some control characters like CHR$(10) and CHR$(13) as a quoted string, but definitely not about using them as file names.
