Apparently I tried to post the latest version of Windoid riddled with curly quotes. The newsletter is originally laid out in PageMaker, and then converted to text for uploading to BBS's. However, we forgot to change the curly quotes to regular quotes. Somewhere along the way, some kindly process decided to strip them out altogether. I will go get that file, change those curly beasties, and repost. Sorry for the confusion... -- Apple's HyperCard Grievance Center "Give us your bugs, your comments, your gentle criticisms..."
