Does whatever defines what these escapes mean, have any comment to make about UTF-8? If not, why can't we declare that UTF-8 mode is the "reset" mode, the default that would be dropped to on a full reset, and if anyone wanted to switch that out to non-default not-UTF-8 mode, they could, but that a reset will always reenable it again..? --=20 Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ --/QKKmeG/X/bPShih Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGEmoH7eTlovtaLtYRAnEHAJ41KEPzbuvao+Y9qAZAyUeXbiDRegCgrd9Q fMORYLo9FK5/bw0bJ6VUxm0= =d2Rw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/QKKmeG/X/bPShih--
