Backslashes in strings now work correctly on Japanese systems.

Many Japanese users doesn't know how to input backslashes and that is
equal
to Yen mark.
There is no remark in AppleScript help to suggest to use backslash as
escape
character to display or handle double quote.
The suppliment AppleScript using backslashes can not compile or
execute any
more in Panther. It causes a lot of troubles.
Can you call it "work correctly" ?
<Cough.> Well, no, not really. Naganoya-san is entirely correct; this
fix caused more trouble than it solved. It did make backslash
characters you type work as documented in the Language Guide, but
unfortunately this is not the same as previous versions, and worse,
they turn into yen marks when you compile, so source is not
round-trip-safe. We're looking into it.
