Replacing the quotes with single or curly quotes will count as a 
character and you'll get unusual results (word 1 will be 'How). 
Replacing the straight quotes with empty will give you the actual text 
string. Or if you want to get fancy:

   put quote & "how are you" & quote into tStr
   put word 2 of the value of word 1 of tStr -- "are"
