Hey Stan,
Thanks for the feedback.
You're seeing the string escapes in Script Debugger's viewer.
Turn on Best View and look again to see the actual strings.
To do something similar in the Script Editor you have to send the strings to
TextEdit or BBEdit.
This used to drive me crazy and is one of the reasons I jumped at Script
Debugger when it came out many years ago.
