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...?

Regards
Rob
