OK, I'll end up in a giant mess if I try to put code page detection and information into HELP. I've been looking at things all wrong.
Why not use the catalogues to translate the character entities for a given language, and stop worrying about code pages altogether? If a catalogue is being used, HELP will simply trust that the correct code page for that catalogue has also been loaded. Alongside all the more usual messages, that catalogue can contain a message for each of the character entities you would expect to use in the language. So when help comes across a character entity, it looks up how to display it in the catalogue. Seems easy enough. Perhaps too easy...?
