Formatting output (Terminal)

[Michael K-K]

Hello!

I'm new to the Prime and to this Forum.
Sorry, if this question has already been answered but I did search the www and this place and could't find something.

I want to format the output of a program with escape sequences.

Example:
PRINT("some text:\t"+var1+"\t"+var2);
Assumed "\t" would be "tab".

I tried the example in the manual with "\n" for a new line but in terminal view it prints literally.
I enter backslash via the Chars-menu (Latin 5c 92) and put the sequence inside a string. Am I doing something wrong or are escape sequences not supported?
