Getting OT here but in Word you can readily turn off smart quotes and or use insert symbol when you want a true " or '.
Charles <snip> Hum, my guess on this is that that publications people are using a "smart editor" to create their documentation. Much like MS Word (may it be accursed) inserts "smart quotes" when I want inch and foot marks (" and '). Either that, or they are not using the proper mark up to tell their publishing software "this is code, kept you hands off it!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
