Well, since it is often the case that man pages cite shell input code like $ grep foo `find -name 'xxx.*'` it is quite important IMHO to have proper cut and paste from a man page displayed in a terminal. With other words: Within normal text, it's probably best to use \[oq] and \[cq], and within verbatim code fragments, plain ' and ` should be used as-is. Werner
