   Hello Alexander!   
      
   What I meant by "RU" above was switching the keyboard to RU.   
      
   Your program has "RUS" and "ENG" buttons for switching the menu   
   language, but that is not what I meant.  ;)

   I have not noticed the changes to the << >> characters, yet.  But thanks   
   for the heads-up.   
      
   Meanwhile, there are couple of other things your program "changes" as   
   soon as the quoting is applied.  :(   I'll send that info to you in email.

   In fidonet, most echos are expected to be in plain old ascii. But   
   utilizing the correct CHARS kludge is acceptable in some echos to aid in   
   implementing the correct character set for viewing.

   Actually, UTF-8 seems to be fine solution that supports any language.   
   )   I like it.   
      
   Some fidonet editors such as (GossipEd) offer UTF-8 support, I've heard.

   UTF-8 "includes" ascii.   
      
   UTF-8 seems to solve the problem of worrying about changing system   
   character sets or keyboards.   
      
   That is why I wondered if your fine program could/would support UTF-8,   
   someday(?).
