    ml>> happens...   
      
    ml>> ö small o with two dots

    MK> Excellent.  Good thing your CHRS kludge doesn't actually do anything.    
   What   
    MK> a crock FTS-5003 is.  ;-)   
      
   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.
