Things are working correctly now. 

For the record, while PayPal did in fact offer the ability to specify encoding, 
it did nothing and the PayPal folks blamed CF (incorrectly IMHO).

I prefaced the page that contains the PayPal form with this:

<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" RESET="no">

(in place of the previous directive) and it is now fine.

Thanx to all for the ideas and help. John.
