Title: Newby to quick / qdesign in need of help
Post by: pyne on 14 Sep 2005 05:41:25 AM
Hi, forgive me if this seems a daft question, but I am currently designing a screen (in quick/qdesign), and need to include speech marksÃ,  " within a character string.Ã,  Can somebody tell me how to do this please?
I have tried looking up escape characters, but couldn't find anything anywhere.

You can mix the type of quote characters.  Thus, to include " do this:

TITLE ' "BANG" ' at 5,15

or

FIELD USER_INPUT help 'Enter a value like "Y" or "N" now.'
