Subject: Re: RDE: Problems with German Umlauts (Umlaute)

I did some tests (text-editor: "Notetab", HexEditor: "frhed"):

- Type Umlaut '�' ( = ue = 0xFC ) to RDE, no newline(!),
   save it as rde.txt and open it with hexedior shows: 
   fc 0d 0a    (carrige return/linefeed has been added by RDE!)
- Type Umlaut '�' ( = ue = 0xFC ) to text-editor 
    shows in hex-editor:   fc
   

- Type 'aa' to RDE shows: 61 61 0d 0a  (-> no unicode)
- Doing the same with text-editor shows: 61 61
    
- Type '�' to RDE, save it and 
    reopen it with RDE shows in RDE: '��'  (stranges letters)       !
    reopen it with text-editor shows in text-editor:  '�<newline>'  !
    reopen it with hex-editor shows in hex-editor: fc 0d 0a


- Type '�' ( = ue = 0xFC ) to RDE and open it with text-editor 
    shows in text-editor shows: '�'
- Type '�' ( = ue = 0xFC ) to texteditor and open it with RDE 
    shows in RDE: '�'


- Type '�<newline>'  to texteditor and open it with RDE
    shows in RDE _strange letters_: '��'
    hexeditor shows: fc 0d 0a  !
    
- Type '�<newline>'  to RDE and open it with RDE 
    shows in RDE _strange letters_: ��<newline'    !
    hexeditor shows: 97 ee 0a 0d 0a                !
    texteditor shows: '��'   (strange letters)
    

So, i guess, it is not a unicode-problem. 
But, how to get rid of this problem?

I have to use umlauts in regexp for textprocessing.
