Thanks, Dorothy. I think this is a code page issue with OS/2
because I now vaguely remember that Describe was able to do
smart quotes only through some programming trickery. I think I
am correct to say that other OS/2 word processors don't do smart
quotes. I know that WordPro doesn't. Anyway, I have redefined
the NB xywrite.kbd to now act as it does in Xy4 and all is well.
Thanks for you prompt reply.
Cheers,
