How do you output quotation marks using Font.Draw and put?

For example: how would I output the text put "hello" (with the quotation marks)?

you can put a \ before the quotes and it will work

for ex.

code:

put "\"hello\""

nevermind. I found another way.

You can either use your way (which works fine and I appreciate the help) or you can use a slash before the quotation marks you want to be outputted.

example: put "\"hi\""

works the same way with Font.Draw

using put you can do something similar by using 2 ' instead of "

code:
put "''Who Goes There?''"


or you can use the ASCII value of "" via chr() function in this case it'd be put chr(34)

code:
put chr(34), "Who Goes There", chr(34)


this works also for Font.Draw
