If I understand right you are producing a documentation
in three formats
1. DVI (I mean you use latex in a standard fashion)
2. html.
3. text.

For output 1. you are happy with \textttt
For output 2, you want <CODE>...</CODE>
For output 3, you want quotes.

Let me suggest that you write two style files
code.sty
\newcommand{\code}[1]{\texttt{#1}}

code.hva
\ifhtml
\newcommand{\code}[1]{{\@clearstyle\@style{CODE}#1}}
\else
\newcommand{\code}[1]{'#1'}
\fi

Then write \usepackage{code} in your source file.
That way you'll avoid complication in the future
(if you use the image feature).

Apparently you found a bug (no terminal ' where it should perhaps be...)
But there is an easy workaround.
