double quote in command mode

Hi,

today I found out that on my vim I cannot use double quote sign in the
command mode. I would like to copy 3 lines to buffer a with command:
"a3yy
but it doesnt work... I dont see also the sign " at the bottom when I
press it.
But it works on my univeristy linux server on the same version of vim
(7.3). How to enable it?

Regards,
Szymon
