Hi, R Devils,
I'm running the actual R version in JGR (version 1.5-8 ). 
Sys.getlocale(category = "LC_ALL") yields
[1] 
"LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252;LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252;LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=German_Germany.1252"

I want to write some HTML-Code enhanced by statistical results and labels 
encoded in Latin-1, which I pass to a function. Some label shall generate the 
filename. Although the labels are correctly handled in JGR they are somehow 
converted when they are written to the file. Also the filename is not 
constructed as wanted. The function definition is correctly sourced into R. The 
function is defined like this:

Itemtabelle.head <- function (abt ){
   # nür zöm TÄST
   zz = file( paste("Itemtabelle/Itemtabelle", abt, ".html"), "wt", encoding = 
"UTF-8")
   cat(as.character("<html xmlns:o=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" 
xmlns:x=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel\" 
xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40\";>  \n"),
       as.character("   <head>                                                  
                                                                                
              \n"),
                .
                .
                .
       as.character("        <td colspan=5 class=xl28 width=727 
style=\'width:545pt\'>Gesundheitsindikatoren:  "), abt, as.character("</td>     
                              \n"),
       as.character("       </tr>                                               
                                                                                
                "), file = zz)
       close(zz)
       unlink(zz)
}
Setting abt as " Ärzte Innere, Gynäkologie" and calling the function with this 
argument, yields a filename "Itemtabelle  Ärzte Innere, Gynäkologie .html" 
and in the file a line 
         <td colspan=5 class=xl28 width=727 
style='width:545pt'>Gesundheitsindikatoren:    Ärzte Innere, Gynäkologie 
</td>  
is generated.                                 .
I tried to solve this by using iconv, without success.
The problem remains the same in the rgui and rterm - in rterm the resulting 
filename is "Itemtabelle Žrzte Innere, Gyn„kologie  .html".

Cheers,
Matthias
