Ernie,

I believe you can use different quotation marks like '","'
or duplicate the "inside" quotes for escaping like """,""""

See http://www.hpmmsupport.com/MPE%20Manual/5000/B3150090013.11820/14.htm

-> Single and Double Quotation Marks in Nonnumeric Literals
-> Embedded Quotation Marks in Nonnumeric Literals

Lars.
