Hi!

I'm trying to insert a backquote (`) into a part of a document that lists a shell script. (In verbatim form).
I copied the text, and pasted it "verbatim". This gave me something that really looks like a back-quote in my document. (But it is not what I get when I simply press the back-quote key on my keyboard.)

If I try to export the resulting document to html or latex, I get an error that looks like:
---
/usr/local/share/TeXmacs/progs/convert/html/tmhtml.scm:114:5: In procedure string-replace in expression (string-replace s "--" ...):
/usr/local/share/TeXmacs/progs/convert/html/tmhtml.scm:114:5: string contains #\nul character: "This is a test. \x00Hello`"
----
An the resulting file is empty.

When I look at the .tm file, it indeed looks fishy:
---
<\body>
This is a test. \0Hello`
---

The \0 is the pasted backquote, the second one is the backquote that gets inserted by pressing the backquote key.

But - if I export the document to verbatim, i.e. to a text file, then the first backquote is the one that is saved correctly, and the second one is some kind of garbage:

This is a test. `Hello<E2><80><98>
