I'd guess that the problem is a mismatch between the console codepage and
the "ANSI" character set used by the GUI. Try this to test the theory:
Open notepad and type some text containing the non-ASCII characters. Sava
as a text file. Then open a command prompt windows and TYPE the file you
created. If the characters don't look right, we've discovered the source
of the problem.
