Nothing changed for strings or widget programs between IDL6.4 and 7.0.
The only difference is the encoding used by the text editor. By
default the IDL Workbench is set to use UTF-8 encoding for all text
files. This works fine for most character sets, especially East Asian
languages. However, it can cause problems for characters in some
languages such as German.

To change the default encoding in the IDL Workbench, go under Window-
> Preferences. Start typing in the word "encoding" in the filter box at
the top of the dialog. It should filter the page list so you only see
the General->Workspace preference page. Select this preference page.
Then in the "Text file encoding", instead of UTF-8, try choosing
ISO-8859-1.

You can also change this encoding for a specific file by right-
clicking on the file in the Project Explorer, and choosing
"Properties". But it's easier to change it for all files.

Hope this helps.
-Chris
