If you want to ignore the special meaning of delimiter char, you must precede it with escape char.
VALUE="<Char>"
DEFAULT="\"
Let us say wee want to display delimiter character within menu item label. Of course, we could use default "\", in which case we wouldn't have to include EscapeChar parameter.
