you can do that with te chr$ function
it returns te ASCII char with that number.
when you type this the var. quot$ contains "
qout$ = chr$(32)

CHR$(32) = space
CHR$(34) = "

At the risk of duplicating what's been stated abovve, here's a short chunk of code to illustrate, from my own program which does what you want to do:

PRINT #4, "<link rel="; CHR$(34); "stylesheet"; CHR$(34); " title="; CHR$(34); "Stylesheet"; CHR$(34); " href="; CHR$(34); "../home.css"; CHR$(34); ">"

PRINT #4, "</HEAD>"

PRINT #4, "<body background="; CHR$(34); "back.gif"; CHR$(34); ">"

PRINT #4, "<a name="; CHR$(34); "top"; CHR$(34); "</a>"

Am I wrong, or do I see a lot of html code, not the double quotation marks (") that I would expect???

well yes, there's html code - that's because the example is taken from a part of a program where I write a page of plain text with embedded html codes where double quotes are needed - once a file is open (file number 4) the text is printed to it and the double quotes then show up. No need to be a smart arse Ralph.
