Re: Quote Question

[Raul Jager <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the way to define constants is usualy near the begining of the
manuals, the idea of using two quotes inside a string can be easily
overlooked, but neveless I think irt is quite standard.
If my memory is not failing me, you can use the same in Cobol, Algol,
Fortran, C, Rexx, APL, Assembler, Basic, PL1, Perl, Modula, Lisp, etc.
So, for me, and I belive for lots of others a line like:

EVAL  TEXT = 'Chadran''s program'

Is a lot more clear than the code below.
