	Hi,
just to make sure, I didn't say to _unquote_ them, but to _unescape_
them. Basically I should get what I set. Currently, if my value contains
quotes then the get function returns quotes escaped with backslash, as
the test app shows.

I want to be able to store any text value into the X property and I
should get what I set.
	Bye,
	Milan
