AGENA LIBRARY CUMULATIVE UPDATE Improvements ------------ 6.1.3 Huntsville II Cumulative Library Update 1, October 11, 2025 - If any option is given to `tostringx`, then the function encloses any string present in its first argument in single quotes and it also properly escapes any embedded quotes. This is useful when writing strings to a text file and reading them back later. Example: > io.writefile('strtab.txt', tostringx(["a\'ge\'na", "programming", "language"], true)) This new feature may be easier to use than setting the interpreter into proper mode with environ.kernel('enclose*') or environ.aux.printenclosestrings and reset it later.
