Hi Eric,
in your example there's two simple options
1) use single quotes
print " <!--#include file="titlepic.shtml"-->\n";
2) escape you internal quotes
print " <!--#include file=\"titlepic.shtml\"-->\n";
If you wish to include variables in the print statement you would have
to use example two as the single quotes in example 1 mean 'print
litterally' what I say, while the double quotes in example 2 mean
'interpret and print'.
Hope this helps.
Gary
