First, your names are backwards :-).  A slash is "/" and a backslash is
"\".

Getting a variable to contain just a backslash is a little tricky.
Putting a backslash on the end of the line obviously continues the
line.  Putting two doesn't continue the line, but also leaves two
backslashes there.  Odd, but true.  What you need to do is trick make
into thinking it's not the end of the line after the backslash.

One way is this:

 E :=
 backslash := \$E
