[TxMt] text accents in LaTeX

[Piero D'Ancona]

Hi,

when writing in languages using accents (e.g. italian)
one frequently types \`e or \`o  (or \"u etc).
The LaTeX bundle has the annoying habit of doubling
the ticks or backticks (or the double quotes) even
immediately following a backslash \  

This seems inappropriate; the sequences  \`'  and
\""  have no use I presume. Is it possible to keep
the doubling of ticks except when immediately
following a backslash? I know I can disable the
doubling completely, but I would like to keep it in
other cases.

Thanks,
Piero
