WriteNow 2.0 (a fine program in many other ways) includes a SmartQuotes
feature; I believe that Word 4.0 (when it shows its face) will also.

I'd feel more secure using a feature if it's part of my application
than relying on an INIT, where there is greater possibility of strange
interactions.  Just my opinion.

I'd be more secure using the feature if it's been embedded in my
application
