I've written to Deron about a problem with the smart quotes. I have tracked
the problem down and I'll let you all know in case you have similar troubles.
The pc version of wordperfect (output as 4.2 for amiga) adds a character to
either side of every quote, for its own smart quote system. Importing the file
to amiga wordperfect 5, the quotes appear normal, as the funny quote map is
ignored by amiga wp. But, if the funny characters are on the quotes, they will
not translate for smart quotes. To fix it, I run the file through ced and have
it strip those funky characters out. Then smart quotes work when importing
amiga wp again.

If any of you had this problem, that's why. Q8-{)

Well met and godspeed,

Nope. Hard to find 5, but it is out.

In any case, the quote problem is explained.
