I have developed a simple patch to rdorch.c which enables a backslash 
character to survive when it is not being used as a command to 
continue a logical line on the next physical line.

The details are at the end of:

together with some examples of using the printks command.  Csound 
with this patch enables the printks codes "\n" etc. to work fine.  
While the manual examples show a backslash before the double quotes 
of the string, these are not in fact necessary.
