From "Creating Character Expressions" in the MSDN help for VFP:
---------------------
You can embed quotation marks(" and ') in a character string by enclosing the character string within square brackets ([ ]):

STORE [Robert's Diner] TO cCompanyName
STORE [See the "Sunday Special"] TO cBanner
---------------------

I learned that trick a couple of years ago and it sure makes the code more readable.
