Sure. I didn't for I thought nobody would be interested since none
of you is using a coding system that TB doesn't support.
I found the %CHARSET macro would override the default character set
only when the character set you're trying to use is supported by TB.
In other words, one can't put just anything there.
What I did is I created a new coding via [Options] [XLAT Tables],
named it "big5", assigned to it the proper font script, and didn't
bother with the two translation tables. By this way, it looks like
"big5" is a supported character set, though not really (it's perhaps
more accurate to say TB "tolerates" it).
Anyhow, now big5 is registered and the %CHARSET macro works. I can
now designate the default character set to be used in the address
book, too.
