Just to let everyone know in case it happens to someone else, Tim identified that the issue I was having relates to OS X’s Smart quote. Apparently, an editor like Textedit puts in Smart (or curly to you and i!) quotes rather than straight, and that causes code editors a lot of confusion.
I switched to CotEditor as default for the Pulse code files, and now everything is fine.
Thanks so much,Tim.
PS Here is a link to how to switch off Smart Quotes in OS X and Textedit.
