Well, the extra quotes are what I want to remove.  I went through all that
pain to get the quotes OUT through text editors and yet, it persists.  Do I
need to flush something out?  I see all my other changes (cat.txt et al).
If I were to send the text file products.txt, it would not have any quotes
or extraneous characters.  So, I am still at a loss.  Anyone?
