I assume you're running Linux? 

Two problems here: First, to enter the Squeak string delimiting quotes (') 
you have to find the key generating an apostrophe. That's not a Squeak
problem. Run "xev" to check. If the keyboard is not configured correctly,
change your X keyboard mapping with "xmodmap". In my .xmodmap I have
this line: 
	keycode 51 = numbersign apostrophe
because the single quote is shift-# on my keyboard.

Second problem: You still won't get the acute accent (´) but a Yen (¥) 
sign in Squeak even if you want to. This is because Ian's VM still doesn't
translate keys into Squeak's character set (Windows VM does, Mac VM
doesn't need to). I sent a patch a while ago that corrected some keys, but
placed a bullet sign on the acute key. I'll attach a new version. Just do
a "patch < keyboard.diff" in your src directory and recompile.
