Re: transposing comma problem

Many years ago I had the same problem with scripts copied from pdf files
for use in various programs.  The problem was that the encoding used for ',
^, and several other symbols was different to those used on my PC. To
correct I just used cut and paste.  I did something in my Latex files to
minimise the problem in my lecture notes but can not recall exactly what I
did
