What actually  happened is that after you copied and pasted the script
into a new file the special meaning of the escape code that appears as
^[ was stripped off. It became literally a ^ followed by [, whereas in
the script this sequence was created by typing Ctrl-V followed by
Ctrl-[.
I forgot to take this little nuisance into account, when I was posting
the code to the list.

\033 will work fine as well as downloading the script from here

If you download it, it should be intact.
