7.2.2.5 Converting smart quotes

The WinHelp 4 documentation says smart quotes ("curly" quotes) work just fine. They do not. They often cause a spurious error message about "unmatched braces" in RTF output. Mif2Go offers three options for dealing with this problem:

[HelpOptions]

; Quotes = Help (default), Standard (curly, may cause errors),

; or Numeric

Quotes=Help

These settings have the following effects:

Help	Changes curly quotes to straight quotes, which do work in WinHelp 4.
Standard	Leaves them as curly quotes; sometimes works in very small .hlp files.
Numeric	Uses "'" syntax for the quotes, and might work for curly quotes where Standard does not.
