   Likewise in WinPoint.   
      
      
   Apparently it is a CHRS thing???  Your system is using:

   The charset thing is coming back to me.  To work, it would need to be grounded   
   on cooperating with using the appropriate charset between users or a specific   
   echo or "othernet".   
      
   If the charset could be switched on-the-fly per message/echo as required, that   
   would be cool.
