I get random capital letters instead. I suspect you must be running some INIT to give you "smart" quotes. The code points on the Macintosh for these curved apostrophe and quotation characters correspond to the code points for capital letters with the high order bit turned on. Many machines use the high order bit in characters for parity, so terminal emulators like Telnet ignore the high order bit to avoid being confused by it. Thus, your "smart" quotes look like capital letters to the terminal emulation. Turn off "smart" quotes and Telnet should behave normally. -- Kurt W.
