Agreed, although I usually use the backquote (`) symbol (same as the tilde
key, but without the shift) because (a) I never use it for other things, (b)
it is *sort of* like a quote, and (c) it is what SuperCard uses  in their
merge function to replace a quotation mark (wish we had *this* in Rev's
merge function!).

Anyway, a good suggestion in any event...
