Does this comment mean that your sandbox version of ooRexx is fully

no...I did not work on Unicode since several months. But since uft-8 is
compatible with ascii, it's possible to process utf-8 strings and pass them
to (or receive them from) oodialog. That's why I say I can use
oodialog.wchar to test unicode, assuming I restart to work on Unicode.

*all* the packages/libraries, including bsf4oorexx. After modifying one of
the packages, I enter the 'reload' command which reloads everything in a
few seconds, and I test.
I can deliver a binary version for Windows (32 bits) and Mac (64 bits)
through dropbox. The main thing to test is the RexxContextualSource (that I
will probably rename RexxBlock) and all its derivatives.

yes, oodialog.wchar is fully Unicode. Internally, all the strings are
utf-16 strings. At the boundaries, the multi-bytes strings (which covers
ascii, utf-8 strings) are converted to/from UTF-16. You have just to
specify the code page of the multi-bytes strings.
I don't plan to redo this work for the new oodialog, But the work is not
lost...
