Hi,

I'm trying to use a quote in a string as in this example;
display dialog "Ok to save? " & """ & newName & """ & buttons {"OK", "No"} default button 1 cancel button 2


I assume I need to escape the enclosed quote, but neither the "\" or "<escape key>" seem to be the answer.
I have plowed around all over the Help from "Smile" with not results.
Matt's book doesn't seem to help me either.


Any suggestions?

Tia,
