Yeah, you would actually need 4 or 8 here. 2 for the actual  
AppleScript string, but this is inside a JavaScript string, so both  
needs escaping (so total is now 4) -- depending on how you produce  
the JavaScript, you may need to again escape each, making it now 8.  
This would be the case if you use e.g. echo with a double-quoted  
string. In single-quoted strings or here-docs you would not need to  
escape \.
