Hi! Michiel,

   Ah, that's the niggling thought I had...

   I had forgotten all about "CHCP".  I did quite a few searches in my text files   
   but couldn't locate anything other using "MODE CON /STATUS", which didn't work   
   or told me that it couldn't.   
      
   It looks as though the xlat settings in GoldEd may override that in any case,   
   as a guess, since GoldEd was able to see Tommi's original test post correctly.   
      
   Thanks again, Michiel.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
