I don't see why one needs to do anything to avoid writing double backslashes:
. file open `junk' using junk.tex, write replace
. file write `junk' " Tamas \\" _n
. file write `junk' " Bartus \\" _n
. file close `junk'
. type junk.tex
Tamas \\
Bartus \\
. !cat junk.tex
Tamas \\
Bartus \\
Both Stata's type and the shell command cat show that the double backslashes made it into the file.
