2 keypresses for a quotation mark
On a Win2K PC, I am needing to press a second key after a 'Quote'key ( " and ' ). This is needed in all locations, command prompt, notepad, word, IE, etc.
How do I turn this off? It is soooo frustrating.

Change keyboard from US-International (or whatever it is) to US standard.
The International setting c.s. take care that a quote typed followed by a vowel (e.g. "e) is represented as a diacritical character (e.g. ?) which we use often in many non-English languages. Which is why I have this US-Int setting on all PC's I use and have to take the 2nd key 'feature' which you mention for granted. No other easy way to work with diacritics on any standard keyboard.
Hope this helps,
