do I [set a control title] that with a declare? And also, to the rest of the list.

I don't have the toolbox handy -- but it'll be something like SetControlTitle.

Does anyone have examples of UTF being drawn on screen using the
textconverter?

 Dim enc as TextEncoding
 Dim conv as TextConverter

 enc = GetTextEncoding(&h100, 0, 2)  // UTF-8
 conv = GetTextConverter(enc, enc)
 myUtf8String = conv.Convert(myUtf8String)
 g.DrawString myUtf8String, 100, 100

P.S. It turns out that this doesn't work as well in OS X in 4.5a9 as I thought. It does work in OS 9, however (where the Unicode will be automatically converted to the script associated with the font you're drawing in). And in 4.5a10 it will work in OS X too.
