Thanks to both of you. I expected this, because
in macro's, that you call procedures, you cannot 'print' quotes in a text,
for example:
 insertline field a (textfield) "All "" Right"
or use quotes after a quotation. There is a way however but that is a bit
more complicated.
I remain a bit surprised not to find any description in the handbook(s)
