In the old days special characters were not converted properly.

I just tested:

'A'#10'BC' is converted to
msgid ""
"A\n"
"BC\n"

Note the new line behind BC. When this is fixed, I can adapt the 'Make
resourcestring dialog'.

Also all line breaks (#10, #13, #13#10) are converted to \n and on
loading to the system line break. That's ok for all strings
passed to the LCL, but all other must be checked manually.
