Just to follow up: When importing foreign language files, "file" isn't
working. Non-ascii characters show up as question marks and textDecode
does nothing.
Using "binfile" and then textDecoding does import correctly but then
text chunking by lines fails. Line endings are imported as 2 bytes using
byteToNum 13,10 (in that order) which isn't the line ending standard for
any OS. I have to replace those specifically.
These are text files saved as UTF-8, created on Mac OS X and imported on
Mac OS X. I'm using LC 7.0.6.
