Importing Unicode text to a field .. How?

[Slava Paperno]

Cool, jacque! I am impressed.

Just for my edification, how did you know that the original text was in
UTF16?

And if you knew that, maybe you also know why my attempts to
getRevBrowserGet(browserID, "selected") for Cyrillic text returns the
dreaded question marks? I posted this in the using Externals and Plugins
forum, as well as on this list, and no one responded.

I also got no responses to my question about sending messages from the Web
page in revBrowser back to the stack (same forum)... I guess not many
experts use LC with Unicode... and the famous Tim Bobo is probably on
vacation...

Gratefully,

Slava
