    Can Talisman support high ascii for message area titles like the Word
    Espanol with the n with the moustache on it.

    I've just committed something that should help with it. The problem is,
    the BBS output is CP437, whereas the config files are all UTF-8.

    So, i've added conversion to most of the strings in config files (at
    least the user visible ones)

    That should allow you to have your n with a moustache, just make sure you
    save your toml file as utf-8 (if it doesn't automatically).

    why not allow UTF-8 for output? CP437 only works properly on UTF-8 machines anyway (and the very few machines that run MS-DOS).

    Thats the next step.
