There is no conversion from DOS in my case.

Unfortunately this continually reappears when the choice is "No" (no
convert).
Finally, after experimenting, I think the problem is *Greek capital letters
in text objects* and their relation with DOS lines.
If the choice is "Yes" (convert to blanks), Greek capital letters in text
objects converts to blanks.

So the choices are:
1. Use text objects with Greek Capital letters and live with the convert
message.
2. Use text variables instead of text objects, but more difficult to
manipulate.

I think choice 1 is better.
If I'm right this problem must be present to other languages too.
