AW: Problem with code page on Windows XP SP3

Hello David,

thank you! I have added "chcp 1252" at the top of my script
and the result is strange. I attach a screen shot to this
mail - hopefully it makes through the list.

With "chcp 1252" it's like this:

1. output on the console (black window) is same than before

2. When I copy the content out of the console into an
   Elvis editor (vi for Windows; white window), then
   the caracters I get in vi are not the ones that I've copied.
   See screen shot.
   More strange: The unreadable wrong characters on the console
   turn into the right German umlauts in vi.
   And the correct characters from the console turn into
   black rectangles in vi.

Paul.
