Thanks, Manuel, although I must say I am less and less confident about 
my knowledge every day... :)

This is the only one I can answer right away.  The inspector is a 
disaster for Unicode input, so pretty much you have to forget it.  What 
you need to do is save you button labels in a utf8 encoded text file, 
one label per line.  Then do the following:

on openStack
put uniencode (url "file:esperantoButton.txt", "utf8") into tTemp
set the itemDel to cr
set the label of button "Button 1" to item 1 of tTemp
set the label of button "Button 2" to item 2 of tTemp
-- etc...
end openStack

  I've just tested it with "ĉeĥa ŝaŭmanĝaĵo" and it worked fine.  Once 
you import these labels from the text file and save your stack, just 
get rid of the above script.  Next time you open the stack, all the 
labels will be there -- displaying correctly.

Now, I will play a little more with your other questions and see if I 
get anywhere.  Don't get your hopes up, though, I am not an expert, 
just a total Unicode desperado... :)

All best,
Toma
