How to turn off back slashes in a String...

How do I turn of Back Slashes on a String in the ini file... I have my Script set as a mailing form however everytime an Apostrophe is filled in a back slash is sent to the next page hence St. John's on the next page appears as St. John\'s... and if it is sent again it picks up another and eventually if the person had to fill the fields in a couple of time by the time it gets to the mailbox it the word looks very unappealing... Please help... Kondwani
