minicom won't send a double quote character


I'm trying to gen up a minicom script to send a SMS text message to a GPRS modem.
I can manually type into minicom the necessary commands to send the txt message (including the double quote) , but when I try it in a script the "double quote character" is simply not sent. I can in some instances tell it to send the octal equivalent of a double quote (which is a \042) but that works at the end of a string but not in the beginning.

The character conversion table seems to say to both send and receive the correct character (decimal 34) for a double quote. I tried the -8 minicom commandline switch with no impact.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
