At a guess, you're talking about escape sequences in the entry fields
in the "add a score" dialog.  You need to select "matches regular expression"
or "does not match regular expression", then the entry fields will keep
your exact string.

All other match types ("starts with", "contains", etc) assume a literal
substring, so they're escaped before being placed in the scorefile, which
by slrn/XNews definition needs regular expression strings.
