please, William and Thomas don't think that i am a very newbie of unicode.
I know that you tell and i claim that RB 5.5 knows only one code : UTF8
RB 5.5 doesn't know Defineencoding and convertencoding other code than UTF8.
Maybe i'm wrong. Maybe the correct syntax has modified. I don't know.
that is why i ask the test. 
So do it before.
