mhhh, when I have this in fld 1:
########################################
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>-</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>äÄüÜöÖßßß</p>
</body></html>
###########################################

And do
...
put textDecode(tTExt,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)
...

The resulting file looks like:
########################################
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>-</title>
</head>
<body>
<p></p>
</body></html>
###########################################
All umlauts are gone!?

With:
...
put textencode(tText,"UTF8") into url ("file": ...)
...
It looks fine in Safari and a browser widget!?

Das geht Dich gar nichts an! :-D

Joke aside, the file gets saved in my Dropbox and I share it
with another user of LC!

Thanks, stored for possible future use. :-)
