Alternatively to what I just wrote (which is still going through the system):
There is a distinction between typewriter characters (what you type) and typographical characters (what you see.) On my US keyboard, I have only one key for both opening and closing quotes. Lyx, OpenOffice and Microsoft Office will display an opening quote correctly, but it is the same ASCII character in each case. Apparently there are different Unicode characters, but LateX probably relies on ASCII. If that is so, there is nothing that you can do about it. However it prints, the code should work, anyway. Doug.
