Sorry dmak - I guess quotes are easily misunderstandable for us programmer types. Maybe we need a comments quoting system:

- 'string literal quotes' - "inexact quotes which ${evaluate things}" - `ticked off sarcastic quotes (quoting someone back at themselves)` - << EOF quotes about shell gurus EOF - ''' string literals with 'subquotes' which aren't escaped ''' - > quoted comments by oldschool BBS junkies
