Dear Hao Fang,
escaping the '#' (i.e. adding '\' in front of it) should be indeed the
way to go. I don't know at which point in the code the substitutions
are made, but you could try changing the quotes with double quotes
(i.e. put " instead of '). You could have to escape some other
characters in that case, though.

If you don't need the .dvi or the .ps, you could also try to bypass
the issue entirely by compiling with pdflatex (this could possibly
require some small tweaks in your source file, though).
