   That's kind of what I figured. That's why I'm trying different things with my   
   console (switching between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1), and Golded at the same time.

   I have them both setup here, I'll have to take a look in MsgEd and see if   
   things are displaying properly. I also have noticed why people usually choose   
   Golded over Msged, there are quite a few more features.

   I'm sure I'll figure it out at one point or another. I just have some more   
   'banging head on keyboard' to do before I get there, I'm sure.
