no joy

sample query: "[area scan st=sql
  sql="select code,description,name from products where category='2'"

If I use the double quotes like you suggest, the query received by my
mysql server reported in the log is 

	9 Query      select code from products where 1 = 1 

If I take the double quotes out, the log sez:

        12 Query      select code from products where code = '[area'

its mangling the query badly.  It is only generating single-field
queries, asking for only code, eventhough I asked for
code,description, and name fields.
