[David Winsemius]

You can either use "\" to escape a character or you can mix two kinds  
of quotes. If you used double quotes around your text entries you can  
have singel quotes in the "interior of the text.

[1] "test of bslash-single-quote ' continues"
 > "test of isolated single-quote ' continues"
[1] "test of isolated single-quote ' continues"
