Not in my case, it doesn't - neither in Windows 2000 in the past, nor now in 
XP. Definitely "chcp 10000" switches me to the Macintosh Roman charset. 
Perhaps because I have all the codepage conversion tables installed. Look in 
Regional Options, Advanced: 10000 is explicitly Mac-Roman.

I do manage to work in UTF-16 through the command line, though; not by 
"chcp", but by launching the command line in UTF-16 mode: "cmd /u". (without 
the "/u" it is in ANSI mode). Plus, UTF-8 is available by doing "chcp 
65001".

Strange.
