I'm not Paul, but the escape codes such as \r for carriage return, \n
for newline (aka linefeed or lf), \t for tab, etc., are standard escape
sequences that have been interpreted by C compilers for 40 or so years
now and many other languages adopted them, since they're so handy.
Here's a Wikipedia article listing them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequences_in_C
I don't know if this list is complete or if JAWS supports all of them.
Also, for JAWS to correctly interpret hex notation, it seems you need to
write \0xhh, not just \xhh as shown in the table of common escapes in
the Wikipedia article. This is likely a JAWS variation.
Btw, \r is equivalent to \13 (decimal) or \015 (octal) while \n is
equivalent to \10 (decimal) or \012 (octal). when you write three
digits after the backslash character, they should be interpreted using
octal notation, not the decimal notation we are generally accustomed to.
Hth,
Andrew.
