The comment.char change should have worked, as others have reported that 
it did. The single quote problem came up a few weeks ago and the answer 
then was to remove the single quotes. Perhaps these are more difficult 
to ignore than comment characters. It is probably a good idea to try 
globally removing or substituting these, as they will probably cause 
trouble later even if they can be read in.
