Escape sequence

Hi,

I have got an application through which an user will submit an address like "c:\tuser\abc".
This application calls a script and passes the address to the scripts positional parameter say $1.
So $1 should contain "c:\tuser\abc", but when $1 is echoed the "\t" and "\a" are interpreted to escape sequence 'tab' and 'bell'.
I cannot ask the user to enter the address in any other format.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

TIA,
Puspendu
