Bug #164
CoCoA-5 emacs interface bug (minor): Source & SourceRegion with troublesome filenames
Description
By accident I created a filename containing a newline.
Sending the file to CoCoA-5 in emacs (by C-c C-f) produced the following error:
ERROR: Newline characters are not allowed inside string literals (you can insert them using escape sequences, for instance, \n or use multi-line string literals)
I suspect something bad may occur if the filename contains double quote characters too. We should add some safety checks.

I have modified cocoa5.el to add escapes for " and newlines inside filenames.
A quick test showed that it works as expected (on my computer).

This has been in feedback for a year; a quick check shows that it works for a filename containing a double-quote, and for one containing a newline. So I'm closing.
