   You have cited the final solution in the RFC.   
      
   - Separate records with &,.   
   - If the string contains &, quote it by double quotes &".   
   _ Inside a string double the &" . 1)   
      
   1) This is the system I use for quotes strings in ciforth, it goes   
   back Algol68 and it is genius.   
      
   This is a final good solution. Only two characters to take care off.   
      
   "He said: ""You are not smart.""" TYPE   
   is valid, but gives an syntax error on a system that is not double quoting,   
   luckily.
