The Pound Sterling character is the ASCII for backslash.
Any terminal emulator I have seen will pass a ASCII backslash to
the host if you hit the Pound Sterling key.

Some emulators (kermit, VIDTEX, and others) actually display a backslash
on the C64 screen.

If you want a backslash for your BASIC program, you'll have to generate
your own character set.
