Thanks 'krikkert' you pointed me in the right direction. I tried other keys
and it seems that my keyboard is all screwed up. Pressing SHIFT + 2 brings
up '@' and SHIFT + 3 brings up '#' so I tried other combinations. It seems
that SHIFT + # brings up the quotation marks. I don't know why this has
happened on my new PC but the new combination works now. Thanks to all that
helped.

Assuming you're on a Scandinavian keyboard, Shift+æ (ä on a Swedish
keyboard) will create "

My keyboard has the same configuration but for some reason the CLUAConsole
in Bladurs Gate worked on my old PC perfectly but not on my new one. However
I am using the keyboard that came with the new PC which has additional
functions so perhaps the that is the reason for the problem. Anyway I have
the CLUAConsole working now.

P. S. After many years of playing the original Baldurs Gate have just bought
the 'Tales of the Sword Coast' expansion and 'Baldurs Gate II' with the
'Throne of Baal'. They would not run on my old PC. I can't wait for them to
arrive so I can play them.
