Importing Unicode text to a field .. How?

[Web Admin Himalayan Academy]

  Sweet Mangos! It works (smile)

I was very close.. in fact I thought I had tried that before. 
Interesting that you cannot do the replacement in the field itself, you 
have to do it to the data in the variable *before* you pass it to the 
field.  because

replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in fld "unicode_Script"

does not work.
