So it does with me, but the user does not enter the filename, he
launches my Python script file from the DOS-prompt with a command line
parameter, for example:
test.py c:\test.txt
In that case the \ escapes the t. (read on!)
That is, until now. For some very strange reason it suddenly works as
expected. I don't understand it anymore, but never mind. Maybe I changed
my little proggie somehow, causing it accidentally to work. Thanks anyway.
