Thanks Pete, I didn't see your editor now, but early
version was seeming without foreign languages support.

Then, there are 3 different Russian encodings for EU - 
DOS Russian, WIN Russian and NIX Russian.

Then, to understand other Russian names, not only key words 
and built-in routines, interpreters must have the unlimited alphabet --
128 -- 255 chars for names. I have such interpreters just now,
but they have no translators to C, binding and other RDS's
heavy armament.

So, I ask Rob for these features. And these features are useful,
I am sure now. I have thanks from my users just for translated
EU docs and for unlimited alphabet.

Regards,
Igor Kachan
