Since it looked correct to me, I copied your text verbatim into a test
script and it appears to work just fine (see below). 

Perhaps one of your spaces isn't a space but a &nbsp;?  or perhaps a quote
is a word processing font quote and not an ASCII quote?

Perhaps you are not running with XT19990514 (I haven't tested the below
with any earlier version)?

Sorry I can't think of anything more.
