come on, man... geez... we're trying... the editor is obviously not as up to 
date as i had thought... it is all a WIP... did you even notice the control 
lines in both of my previous messages? one was "ASCII 1" and the one you 
replied to above did have CP437 when i think it should have had UTF-8 but i 
don't know why it didn't... it is supposed to scan and set the CHRS line 
according to the characters found in the post... the only thing i can think of 
is that those characters exist in CP437 even though my console depicted them as 
a two byte pair...

 ml>> hummm... not seeing the glyphs in the editor :(

 MK> That doesn't surprise me.

it is an editor written in javascript like many other parts of the BBS... it 
should have handled them just fine since the update but WIP... the main core of 
the BBS is all C code and additions are either javascript or a custom compiled 
language known as baja... i'll have to ask the devs what's up... especially 
since it is above my javascript paygrade... i can muddle and hack my way 
through some stuff (like i did with the TIC file processor) but it is hard to 
do when there are javascript things as well as C things used at the same 
time... i think the proper term is "objects exposed to javascript"...

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set 
them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
