I want to place Quotation MArks in a text feild through lisp. But LISP treats quotation marks as an action to do something. Can I get around this somehow. I have the following created thus far and it works. (defun do_text () (setq txt1 (strcat "%%uSECTION '" int1 "-" int1 "' " )) ) "INT1" have been defined earlier in my program. For now I have an apostrophy, but it's not technically correct. Much appreciated guys and gals. M
