All that does is print \$ in my HTML.
What's going on is that it will put, say, RR$T into a file when that's typed
into a textbox or any typable form control. That's properly saved in the
file.
So the file will contain RR$T.
When it's output, it could be RR, or RR$T, depending on some unpredictable
factors (haven't figured it out).
By adding a slash, what gets saved in the file is RR\$T, but what gets
output could be RR\ or RR\$T, depending on those same factors.
