We call those built-in functions.
To remove quotes at start and end, it's DEQUOTE.
To un-double embedded quotes and ampersands, use DCVAL.
To double them back again, say for an MNOTE insert, use DOUBLE.
The character built-in functions cannot be nested, so to apply
more than one to the same tex
OK, I've tested it now. I was expecting that DEQUOTE() would
receive any of the caller's doubled-aposts as a single apost that,
therefore, needed to be re-doubled. So, I removed the use of DOUBLE() and
the results are usable. Thanks.

So, is the following arrangement kosher? Meaning, if the caller
of my macro happens to code a double-apostrophe in one of these arguments,
will the following arrangement successfully prepare that value for the DC
statement? Obviously, I could test this, but I'm also interested in any

I recently saw someone post some macro code in which an,
apparently, intrinsic function was used to remove quotes from around a
parameter. It registered at the time but now I need it and can't remember
more about it. Hints? Also, where can I find a list of these types of
intrinsic fun
