Re: OK what does ` mean - seriously seems to be not documented.

raw strings are not 'raw' as carriage returns are stripped. Instead of crlf you get plain lf.
I think this is close enough.
If you disagree, then please demonstrate a use case where it is necessary to preserve carriage returns.
That said, maybe it makes sense to come up with new terminology to distinguish between them, e.g. to compare between different types of raw strings from different languages.
Cooked strings - the standard double quotes, does escaping and etc.
Preheated strings - Euphoria's version, that are almost raw but strips off the carriage returns.
Extra raw - a version that is so raw that it even keeps carriage returns in the string.
I have so much to learn.
Someone please show me an example of Extra Raw and how it must be used.
I was told that Windows now has a start button. I am tempted to rip out my hard drive and upgrade to Windows 8.1.1, I really do need to understand what CR LF is all about.
