Mike,

Thank you--so, is this a workaround for a gs bug, or does the single 
quote have some special meaning in postscript?  When I first ran into 
the problem I googled and looked at some PS documentation, and I 
couldn't find anything indicating that the plain single quote character 
as a literal was forbidden.
