[Tutor] [Fwd: Re: Spanish text in BS problem]

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Hi Ismael,

I'm glad you found the answer. It is very enlightening as I thought I 
had to do with locale and did some tests without getting the problem (I 
do not have BS installed now)

As I speak Spanish this had got me worried. :/
