I want logical Hebrew.

I have looked at a couple of systems and did not find customizable codepages. 
IOW, I could hack the code to force all pages as iso8859-8-i, which will 
work, but that is not very elegant (and I won't be able to add French pages, 
because that needs 8859-1 or 2). Any ideas of which systems have made the 
code page customizable? Also, BTW, is it possible to include two code pages 
in HTML? I did it with <iframe> but couldn't find anything else?

Thanks for the tip. I did not realize.

Thanks for all the good software and goodwill you make available, guys 
(should I say rabotai instead of 'guys'? ;-))
