Solved the problem. The workbench saves the files in UTF-8. After
setting the Text file encoding at Preferences->General-> Workspace to
ISO-8859-1 everything is fine.

Hi,

I tried that. But then a Ü becomes A with a ~ on top. Without isolatin1
it becomes a ^.

So, let me get this straight. To get a character with an umlat,
say, in the title of my IDL plot, I have to change the encoding
of the Workbench *editor*? Even for IDL, that seems too weird.
Are you sure about this? Can you give me an example?

Cheers,

David
