accent, quote and apostrophe trouble

[Steve]

Hello all,

I have a small, but nerve breaking issue:
when I use the quote and the apostrophe it convert into an accent or a
french trema (double dot over a letter)
Example:
I need to type l'ami (l +' + a + m + i) and I get lámi
same for lécole
if I want to type l'ami I need to type (l +' + SPACE + a + m + i)
everytime I use a quote or an apostrophe I need to use the space bar, and
this is driving me crazy ....
please help me regain my sanity.

thank you
