  You must be using some brain damaged version of emacs which doesn't
have the quote function implemented (correctly).

1) yes I tried: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
2) obviously you are one of those people who responds to an attempt at help
   with a flame if you can't make the answer work. I shall try to never again
   offer any suggestions on solving your problems.
