[PD] newbie question about "dropped"

[libero.mureddu3 at fastwebnet.it]

Hello!
I'm a new user of pure-data.
I'm using the last Hans-Christoph Steiner version Pd-0.38-2hcs0 on a ibook
g3 800, and I cannot put a backslash in a patch. I receive the message "dropped".
In the mailing list I read that is possible to change this editing one of
the source file.
My question is: with the version that I''m using, there is a workaround for
this problem without editing the source?
Or can someone explain me what I have to do with the source?
Thank you in advance,

Libero Mureddu
