Does anyone know how to insert quotation marks (") into fields and scripts from
within a script. It's probably something obvious which I can't see for

For instance, the following statement put "I am the" && quote & "boss" & quote would put I am the "boss" in the message box. -- Cloyd Goodrum III UNCC Computer Science Department Charlotte, N.C. unccvax!goodrum@mcnc.org
