I think it's only ' that needs special care.  I'm afraid \' 
doesn't seem to work.  On the other hand ' in a title string is
OK if the string is wrapped as "string" rather than 'string'. 
Maybe I could test for ' and wrap accordingly, but it's a bit 
complicated.

Sorry, I know there are some others questions of yours that I 
should be answering -- I'll try to get to them soon.

Allin.
