Hi, Adrian,
The "carrot" is the escape character and can be used like so:
>> print "^"Hello^""
Hello
Or using curly braces negates the need to escape the double quotes:
>> print {"Hello"}
Hello
Carrot slash (^/) is the return/newline sequence and it is translated
correctly in each platform:
>> print {"Hello"^/"Goodbye"}
Hello
Goodbye
Hope that answers the questions.
