Does anyone have details or explanations about this problem?

I found that NS 3.0 understands the \mac charset directive in rtf
documents now, and does a reasonable job of converting the characters.
However, I also found that it strangely mapped the Mac's open and close
single printer's quotes, not to proper curley quotes on the NeXT,
but instead to the accent and neuter quote.  The end result is that if
you used normal single quotes on the Mac, you get curley ones on the
NeXT, and if you use curley ones on the Mac, you get the strange
mac-normal ones on the NeXT.

What am I misunderstanding?
