SlyEdit: UTF-8 support. Also, new feature: Entering a graphic char with Ctrl-G (Ctrl-G was previously the key for general help, which wasn't much). Credit for the code for these features goes to Deuce (and FSEditor.js).

239 5. 5. UTF-8 support and CP437
240 =============================
241 As of version 1.88, SlyEdit is able to accept UTF-8 character input, but it has
242 Synchronet convert the input to CP437 internally. As of this writing, Synchronet
243 didn't fully have UTF-8 string support yet.
244 Internally, the new (at the time) K_CP437 mode bit is used when accepting user
245 input.
239 5. UTF-8 support
240 ===================
241 As of version 1.88b, SlyEdit is able to accept UTF-8 character/text input. This
242 allows inputting a wider range of characters, but one limitation is that if the
243 user's terminal is UTF-8, high-ASCII characters (with numeric values 129-255)
244 can't be entered. Even when using the graphic character input (with Ctrl-G),
  • This statement doesn't really make much sense. The "high-ASCII character" 129-255 are available in UTF-8, just with a different encoding. They're the same characters.
