Thanks Igor,
Microsoft is for really smart people only--that excludes me. Microsoft is for people with lots of patience only--that excludes me. I booted up my Win10 netbook and concluded that Windows makes the computer unusable. (It was marginally usable with Win7).
Does Windows force you to use the console as a strictly DOS computer?
What is the easy way to set the code page in a console?
How do you work with unicode-text on a Windows computer?
I will need lots of help with Windows.
I upgraded my notes on UTF16 to "good lucks".

I encountered an issue in my work recently related to this subject: Pasting text from the clipboard could capture weird byte values depending on which application the text was copied from - even if it was exactly the same text. I had been using CF_TEXT in the Windows function call but only CF_OEMTEXT ensures that just the bare text is returned. BTW, no console was involved.
