   I had the same problem when I tried to use GoldED Lnx under Linux. The problam   
   appeared to result from the fact that GoldED has it's own character   
   translations, and the program itself is a console probgram and thus depends on   
   the console settings. The two sets of settings, operating at the same time,   
   apparently caused the problem you mention.   
      
   The only solution I found was to use MsgED instead of GoldED. For reasons   
   unknown, that allowed me to both read and write all the special characters in   
   German without problems. Unfortunately, MsgED was simply too primitive for my   
   taste, and so I finally abandoned my attempts.   
      
   Something similar may be happening to you with TimED and BSD. The only way I   
   could - almost - fix this was to adjust the GoldED internal character set to   
   try to match that of the console set under Linux, and even that didn't work   
   for the Esszet.   
      
   So I wish you luck, but unfortunately can't offer any fast and sure methods   
   for fixing this particular problem.   
      
   Cheers, Bob
