This is due to the fact that \ has a special meaning in TeXmacs:
it is used to enter special markup. You should enter the \ character
using "S-F5 \". There has been a discussion on whether we should make
the \ keystroke default to the \ character inside sessions.
I haven't made a decision yet. Maybe we should let it default
to the \ character in textual input inside computer algebra sessions.
