Just to clarify:
1 - So, is there a way to set the codepage to be used by the String type
regardless of the platform?
2 - If question 1 is true, what are the implications for the RTL? We can
expect some unexpected behavior when doing that?
3 - If question 1 is true, what are the recomended way to do that?
4 - What should we do when we find flaws in the documentation? Should we
report to Michael Van Caneyt here on the list? (from what I understand, he
is the maintainer of the documentation). Should we open a bug report on the
bugtracker about documentation?
Best regards
