I have experienced a strange problem with by c64 running Easyscript,
and its interface with the Juki  printer via a cardco G interface.
In particular, when I tried to underline on a line that contained
a quotation mark (") within several words of the point at which
underlining was to start, I instead got no underlining but a literal
translation of the escape sequence, such as <chr27>E.  Alot of trial
and error taught me that if i doubled up on the quotation marks, the
underlining would work.  Thus, some examples:

"this is a quote" that I want to ESC E underline ESC R
produced:
"this is a quote" that I want to <chr27>E underline <chr27>R

however
"this is a quote"" that I want to ESC E underline ESC R
produced:
"this is a quote" that I want to underline  (where underline was
underlined)

I also experimented and found that if the quotation mark was far enough
away, say more that 10 words, the underlining would work fine, but
otherwise not.  Also, if I used (') instead of ("), everything was OK.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and can anyone help me
to understand and perhaps overcome the problem. Thanks in advance.
