To go along with Greg Reichert idea with VBScript you can use the ScriptControl if you don't want to use WSH

lo_Script = NEWOBJECT('scriptcontrol')
lo_Script.Language = "VBScript"
? lo_Script.Eval('escape("test this?")')

or you can make a VB Function

lc_code  = [Function Encode(pc_text)] + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + ;
           [	Encode = escape(pc_text)] + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + ;
           [End Function]
lo_Script = NEWOBJECT('scriptcontrol')
lo_Script.Language = "VBScript"
lo_Script.AddCode(lc_code)
? lo_Script.Run('Encode', "test this?")
*-- If you want to test speed
? lo_Script.Run('Encode', FILETOSTR(HOME()+ "FOXTOOLS.FLL"))
