Thanks, I read it yesterday evening.

I still don't know why there is such a encoding mess on Python. For me this
totally neglects the statement that python code is easily portable or executable
on other platforms.

For instance, I am also unsing some IDL code. There I open the IDLE and code
right away without worring about the encoding.

Kind regards,
Timmie
