CAn someone tell me what I am doing wrong, or even better what to do
now as what used to work for me doesn't anymore...:-( Using the lines

result is returned to temp..
put
"http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/spencerdata/index.lc?A=index&thetongue="; &

put URL tURL into temp
If there are any accents and other strange characters then garbage is
returned.... Can someone tell me what to do ?
I suspect the data you are getting passing to the client is encoded as
UTF-8. In this case you should be able to set a 'Content-Type' HTTP
header when sending back the data to 'text/plain; charset=utf-8' and in
an ideal world libUrl would 'do the right thing'. However - having just
looked at libUrl for 7.0.4; I'm not entirely convinced it *is* doing the
right thing. I'll file a bug on that once I've double checked.
In the meantime, this should make things work:
put textDecode(URL tURL, "utf8") into tURL
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
