Re: XyWrite vs NB keyboard files

[Dorothy Day day@xxxxxxxx]

Sorry, John, I neglected to mention that the default behavior for the
quote keys is to produce smart quotes, with shifted states for the
unsmart ones. I promptly defined them back where the belong, since a lot
of what I do involves pasting into email, which barfs on smart quotes.
I'm not sure why you're getting different upper ascii characters; most
likely it would be your alternate code page(s). Try disabling them and
see what happens.
