No, the subject refers to text files, not to console. Obviously, console
output has its caveats, but that's something else - the possibly added
functionality of being able to read and write text files with UTF-16
encoding using Read(Ln)/Write(Ln) does not imply that you might be able
to change the console to whatever codepage value directly (this is not
the case today either: you can perfectly write UTF-8 to a text file
under GO32v2 if using the fpWideString manager, but the underlying
communication is performed using the console encoding, not the text file
encoding, and translation is needed on the fly).
