I gave this a go to see how it worked and ti gave me this:

'A:\\\x00C:\\\x00D:\\\x00G:\\\x00I:\\\x00L:\\\x00P:\\\x00Q:\\\x00R:\\
\x00U:\\\x00X:\\\x00Y:\\\x00Z:\\\x00'

Not exactly what I expected. Do I have to parse out the "\\\x00"
myself or is there an information level switch I should add?

This works as advertised. I was actually going to post that, but you
beat me to it.  :)
