subject: what does this do? ... probably nothing as usual.

Hey mark!

 ml> it looks just like quoted above ;)

If indeed it is CP437 then it looks nothing like it is quoted since they
are utf-8 characters to a capable editor.

 ml> 4bytes 2bytes 2bytes 2bytes 2bytes 3bytes 3bytes 2bytes

Nope.  The first one (Euro symbol) is 3 bytes and the rest are all 2 bytes
with the leading byte - I wish they would have called it the masterbyte
:::snicker::: - all being 0xc5 which makes them part of the Latin
Extended-A characters.  0xc5 is a box drawing character in cp437 (aka LIGHT
VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL) and you should see exactly 7 of them if indeed
your golded is cp437 wrapped.

Life is good,
Maurice
