Take a text file with special characters (e.g. "Extréme")
Saving on Ubuntu in gedit, the default text encoding is UTF-8.
Reading the file in OOo Basic with 'Open sFile for Input' and showing
the text is OK.
I assume Basic's Open uses as encoding for the given file the value of
osl_getThreadTextEncoding (which is something like OOo's abstraction of
the text encoding in use in the system, which typically happens to be
UTF-8 in Ubuntu, but MS-1252 on a Western European Windows; the latter
in turn is very similar to ISO 8859-1 and ISO 8859-15). No idea if you
can tell Basic to use a specific encoding for a given file.

But reading the same file with OOoBasic on Windows, does not show the
special character properly.
If I save as ISO-8859-15 in gedit, it does show fine on Windows.
But of course (?) not on Ubuntu.
Is this a general OS problem with the text-encoding? Does OOoBasic do
something wrong?
