An option is to include the delimiters in the variables. The following:
title=:'hey hey'
text=: 'this is the message'
wd 'mb "',title,'""',text,'"'
Could be done as:
title=:'"hey hey"'
text=: '"this is the message"'
wd 'mb ',title,text
And where there are or might be " chars in the paramter, use DEL delimiter:
title=:'"hey hey"'
text=: DEL,'this message had "quotes"',DEL
wd 'mb ',title,text

There's also the form where everything after asterisk is taken to be
quoted:
txt=. 'Some "special" characters: [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()-=_+`<>?,./:";[]{}\|'
wd 'mb "',tit,'" *',txt

Thanks, Devon and Tom!
Your solution: wd 'mb "',title,'""',text,'"'
No matter what I did, I just couldn't seem to get the relationship
between the variable names and the punctuation right in that last
line--thanks, it works!
