Thanks, Hans.

I'm a bit confused though: in the verbatim sections I want the  
vertical typewriter quote <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe_% 
28mark%29#Computers_and_Unicode> rather than any '6' or '9' style  
quotation mark apostrophe. I can see the difference in most of the  
fonts I have here. In Courier, for example, the difference is about  
25 degrees of slope, and the inclined quotation mark is lower down too.

So perhaps I should rephrase my question: how can I keep the vertical  
' that I type into typing sections without it getting converted to a  
curvy quote ’...?

many thanks for any help
