Hi,
 
Is there any way to make Lyx treat single quotes like it does double quotes?  That is, make it have an open single quote and then a close single quote?  I'm interested in the possibility of typing dialogue such as
     Tom Blinked and said, "Then he said, 'so she said, "Go to Hell, Microsoft Word!"'" 
That is, the single quotes being typeset to open and close like the double quotes.
 
The users guide mentions a quotes popup from the layout menu, but I don't have that.  I though I got the most recent version of LyX (1.1.6fix1 of Wed, Jan 31, 2001).  Is there another way to adjust the behavior of quotes besides the popup?  If not, how do I get the popup?  I installed from an .rpm.  Maybe I should compile from the source?
 
Thanks for any help.

P.S., is there any way to control what shows up on screen for the open and close quote characters?  They look funky if you use a true type font for your on screen font.
