I don't know if this can be done, but here goes...

In the text for an alert, ^0,^1,^2,^3 are treated as special strings to be
replaced by ParamText. Believe it or not, I actually want the strings "^0"
and so on to appear in my alert, and not to be substituted.

Is there any way of escaping them or otherwise when specifying the text in
a .r file for Rez, so that they come out literally and are not substituted?

Or do I *have* to say something like ParamText("^0","^1","^2","^3"); ?

Ralph
