Thanks, Kai, that was the magic hint.

I am now using gnuclientw, which handles all the backslashes quite
nicely.  No intervening Perl program is now required.

I may still need to fight the original battle in the future, if I need
to run some Elisp at the same time the editor is invoked, but I'm all
set for now.

Thanks again,

Jonathan
