Re: Arabic Lanaguage support

Thank you very much indeed. I did consider POST and GET with the FORM, but
with the same results :-(
In OPTIONS FOR CUSTOMS FORMS HANDLER dialog box, there is space for
"Encoding type:" It remains blank by default. Can I specify any specific
encoding here? If yes, what will be the syntax? Perhaps by force-specifying
this encoding will solve the problem.
It is to be remembered that without ANY specific workarounds, my home laptop
has no such problem. Maybe Windows installation types are different? I wonder.
