Given that all you've done is to add a little bit of text to that file (but removed a whole bunch of backslashes) the best thing to do would be to replace the whole file with a default unedited copy (which you can get from www.oscommerce.com as the MS2.2 zip file).

Then, when you wish to edit it in future, do not use the osCommerce File Manager as it causes the errors you have in that file. Download the file to edit, take a backup (just in case), edit in a plain text editor, upload again - and if there's any problems reload from the backup you took.

When you have the new unedited file, this is what you need to change it to:

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to Luv-N-Bubbles where you will enjoy yourself');

folowed by this (and all that follows):

('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');
