    var/c = "\"Lol!\""
    winset(src,"input1","text=\"[c]\"")

You need to use \\\" [text] \\\"
So,

var/c = "Lol!"
winset(src,"input1","text=\"\\\"[c]\\\"\"")

Or you know.

var/c = "\"Lol!\""
winset(src,"input1","text='[c]'")

Go with Nadrews. It's more appealing. I forgot that method was achievable.

I think your solution has problems if apostrophes are used in the embedded string.

NEW PROBLEM.
When I take text from a multi-line input and browse it, it doesn't recognize the correct line. Help?

Technically the skin interpreter thinks single quotes are for file names, so it's best to avoid them for escaping text. My advice is to use url_encode() on the text, or you can just use list2params() to encode everything.

This will break if you use apostraphes in var/c

Try using,
var/c = "Lol!"
winset(src,"input1","text=\"\\\"[c]\\\"\"")

Why not do...
var c = "lol"
winset(src,"input1",list2params(list("text"="[c]")))

// Lummox JR's suggestions:
var c = "blarg"

winset(src, "input1", list2params(list(text = c)))

// or
winset(src, "input1", "text=[url_encode(c)]")
