"&quote&"

[Ken Ray]

Doug,

I have used this function for years:

answer "She said, " & q("I do.")

function q what
  return quote & what & quote
end q

Might work for you; I agree it would be great to use quotes inside of
quotes, and actually in the regular expression world of matchText and
matchChunk you can include quotes in a string by escaping them with a
backslash, but until it gets built into the engine, this function (or one
like it) will have to do, IMHO.

frequently and it makes things difficult to read.  Javascript handles this
nicely by allowing the use of single quotes within double quotes.
