OK Chris and Matt, thanks for looking at this, I think I'm gonna settle for what
I've got. I've found that the existing tooltip displays the correct character
from the UFT-8 conversion up to unicode #FF, #00 by just passing the first byte.
That covers most of the characters I need and since the wPutsW works fine for all
the unicode I'll stick with that for now..

Thanks PeteS
