   -) Sorry about the smiley, but you remind me of my own desperate cries for   
   help many years back, when I also tried to set up a fidomail reader system   
   under Linux.   
      
   The problem you describe is basically due to the fact that both the console   
   GoldED is running in AND GoldED have character tables, and they often don't   
   agree.   
      
   I worked for around 3 months one time trying to get Golded Lnx to display at   
   least all the German umlauts and the esszet properly, and never managed to   
   achieve that.   
      
   I had no problems with MsgED on that score, but the program was simply too   
   primitive for my taste.   
      
   The problems with GoldED are also, unfortunately, dependent on the system. I   
   had horrible problems with display of high-ASCII characters, whereas other   
   people with nominally the same system claimed they had no problems whatever.   
   Together with them, I tried to find what was causing the difference, but was   
   unsuccessful. I finally gave up and am now using the Windows version of GoldED   
   running via a network to my messagebase.   
      
   Even nowadays, I still occasionally read about such problems in the German   
   echos, so I guess there isn't any "sure fire" solution even now.   
      
   The only thing I can recommend is playing around with the console and GoldED   
   character sets to try and match them as much as possible. Take a look at MsgED   
   if you want, as it gave me no problems with display of high-ASCII characters.   
      
   I wish I could give you more help, but my efforts were many years ago and I've   
   forgotten most of what I did then.   
      
   Cheers, Bob
