Code:

\<<
   FILE              @ recall source string to stack
   "{\"" SWAP +      @ place {" chars at beginning
   "\"}" +           @ place "} chars at end
   10 CHR            @ place linefeed char on stack
   "\" \""           @ place " " chars on stack
   SREPL DROP        @ replace all linefeeds with " "
   STR\->            @ convert the resulting string to an RPL object
\>>

I'm curious about the backslashes in

"{\"" SWAP + @ place {" chars at beginning
"\"}" + @ place "} chars at end.

Are they akin to the escape sequence used in C programming?
