Known character set identifiers       http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5003.001              In Spanish echos you can find messages in CP437, LATIN-1, CP850 and UTF-8.       I think that Brazilian/Portuguese also use CP850 a lot.              GoldEd+ in Windows uses CP850 by default (though you can configure it to       convert to/from other encodings)              This message is in CP850.
