Backslash not correctly handled by the 'Send script file' feature.

Hi, found out why somme of my commands were shortened when using the "Send script file" feature, this was because of the backslash that wasn't correctled handled, here is an easy way to reproduce the problem :
unalias xargs
alias xargs="\xargs -L1"

Same problem with this command:
alias xargs='\xargs -L1'

UNEXPECTED RESULT on RHEL5 and SOLARIS 10:
$ alias xargs
alias xargs='
gs -L1'

ANY IDEAS ?

Yeah, it worked with double-backslash, any idea why ?

It is the design.
