My findings: It is possible to save a file with non ascii characters in its name. When the file not exists there is no problem when saving. When the file exists it gives a clean message that the file already existst. If /replace is used in the save statement it works nicely. In no circumstances I got a crash. However, the syntax editor doesn't like it when I use non-ascii characters in the syntax. If I edit the setup with wordpad, I get a correct functioning setup but the file name of the saved file looks different as I specified. May this has something to do with my settings. Is anybody volunteer to test this version in an environment where non-ascii characters in filenames are normal? I can send her/him the install .exe to test it. Have fun
