Dear Geertjan, This is embarrassing. I was intending to post a minimal program showing the unwanted character translation (see the thread 'Odd character translation'), but I can't get it to happen in a new project.
I can only assume that it was something to do with resurrecting a project which had an unusual character set (no idea why - it's ancient) from NB 8. As this doesn't happen all that often (if ever), I don't think there's any point in spending any more of our time on it. As for the wisdom (or otherwise) of looking at a .form file, I think that's a matter of opinion. Personally I find it useful to know what a program is doing, and think that this self-censorship is a bad idea. You obviously differ. As one can always use whatever file explorer the OS provides, it's not really an issue. Thanks for your help and advice.

Even if you’re looking inside a Form file, you’re most likely doing something wrong. It is generated by the GUI Builder, should never be touched or changed, and even the idea of looking at Form file is a bad idea.

Is this on purpose, as > it's a bit confusing? What I do, when I want to see a complete, unfiltered view of the file system, I simply add that directory to the Favorites window.
