Likewise in WinPoint.


Apparently it is a CHRS thing???  Your system is using:

The charset thing is coming back to me.  To work, it would need to be grounded 
on cooperating with using the appropriate charset between users or a specific 
echo or "othernet".

If the charset could be switched on-the-fly per message/echo as required, that 
would be cool.
