   Hi All,   
      
   I noticed a message in German with '@CHRS: LATIN-1 2' that wasn't displaying   
   correctly, while the CP850 I use has all the characters needed to display the   
   German characters.   
      
   It turned out the XLATCHARSETALIAS lines in the provided charsets.cfg aren't   
   complete. But if the XLATCHARSETALIAS lines from the advanced.cfg are included   
   in my own config, the German messages displayed alright!   
      
   Here they are:   
      
   // This defines charset aliases for import tables.   
   //XLATCHARSETALIAS "charset" "alias1" "alias2"...   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO-11 ISO-8859-11 ISO8859-11   
   // Common invalid configurations and different charsets names   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS CP437 IBMPC   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS CP866 CP-866 +7FIDO +7_FIDO FIDO7 FIDO_7 RUS   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS KOI8-R KOI8R KOI KOI8 GOST CP20866   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS KOI8-U KOI8U KOU KOI-U CP21866   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-1 ISO-8859-1 ISO_8859-1 CP28591 ISO-1 LATIN-1 ISO   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-5 ISO-8859-5 ISO_8859-5 CP28595 ISO-5   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS CP1251 CP-1251 WIN WIN-1251 WINDOWS-1251   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS CP1125 UKR   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS CP10007 MAC-CYRILLIC MAC-RUSSIAN   
   XLATCHARSETALIAS CP10017 MAC-UKRAINIAN MAC-UKRAINE   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
