Sorry to doubt this, but would it not be true that this depends on the 
codepage you are using on your machine. I have not checked it, but I know 
that when using accented characters you can have serious problems. I thought 
there was even a difference between the charset Windows is using and the 
codepage your machine is defined to work with.
I reread the explanation of this in Petzold's "programming windows 3.1". As 
he states it, Windows is capable of working with two kinds of charsets. The 
first being the OEM (or IBM-standard) and the second being ANSI. OEM charset 
is used to support older applications and contain box characters. ANSI 
charset is the one used for Windows programming. When exchanging text between 
DOS and Windows, you would have to perform conversion. This can be found in 
the above mentioned book from page 127 on.
