printf "%s\n", mystring
(Not 'set print elements'?)

Well, 'set print elements 0' and 'set print repeats 0' gets you some of the way there, but line-feeds still get converted to '\n', and if you want to print shorter strings with x/s then you'll also need 'set print null-stop on' .....

Basically, if you want to see a string as nature intended then printf seems to be the easiest way, plus x/s remains useful for viewing the contents of the string a different way.
