Replacing the quote character

[Jim Ault]

The ascii number will depend on the font you are using.
Some fonts do not use high ascii for curly quotes, so char 210 looks like something else, especially a font like Wingdings.

Another caution when using the reserved word 'quote' in LC...
  put word 2 of dataString -- will only work for straight quotes, not curly quotes.

I discovered I have the MS curly quotes. This is what works for these:

replace numToChar(210) with "#" in tList
replace numToChar(211) with "#" in tList

Thanks Mike and Jerry.
