Hi,

I have a very simple question:
How do you include a quote character in a literal string? That is, I
want to make a string:
I said, "Hi"
Including the quotes, but they are the delimiter. What escape
characters/functionality is provided in LISP to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

"I said, \"Hi\""
