Changes in IDE 1.0 - Serial.print(byte(

I like to send a lot of info to a VT100 serial terminal and I use the control codes to place the cursor on the screen.
There is a change in the 1.0 IDE that kills my old code from sending the escape character (27)

I used to use Serial.print(byte(
but now must use Serial.write(

e.g.
Serial.print(byte(27))
must now be
Serial.write(27)

Cheers,
LM
