As my previous posted problem, I do another trial on Unicode.

I tried to display content of  a file that has Thai charaters. So,  I 
saved it both .txt and .rtf with Encoding property of Unicode, Unicode 
big endian and UTF-8. Then, I used the command /put /to let each of them 
display in a field. The result is still mixed up of Thai characters. 
Again, I tried on using /uniEncode/ but the result is even worse.

Anyway, any suggestions??

Thanks,
