The archives are down...  I have an urgent need... <g>

I've got to take a string from a user input and surround it in quotes.
The problem arises when the string itself has a quote or multiple
quotes in it.  So if a user keys in:
  Don's in deep doo-doo with deleting Dave's files.

then I gotta put into a variable:
  'Don''s in deep doo-doo with deleting Dave''s files.'

Can someone help me from having to reinvent the wheel?  I will need
solutions for both CL and RPG-IV (at v4r5), but will gladly take one or
the other for now.

TIA, Dan
