 in character constants, if you do not specify the -vms or -assume
 backslash compiler options:

    Escape Sequence    Represents
    ---------------    ----------
    \n                 A new line

    \f                 A formfeed
    \0                 A null character
    \'                 An apostrophe 
    \"                 A quotation mark
