Hello All,
I am using text morphs which may contain extended ascii characters (in my
case spanish characters 'ñáéíóú').  When I save those morphs and bring them
back to screen everything works fine. My problem comes when I write the
morphs contents to a plain .txt file (which in my case has to be opened with
TextEdit in Mac Osx). In that case the special characters are expanded into
several.

I am working with Squeak 3.9 in Mac OsX.  I have tried UTF8TextConverter but
I am obviously doing something wrong (My knowledge of this issue is really
scarce) . My code can be sumarized with this snippet.


*tm := TextMorph new openInHand.*
(I write inside the morph some text contaning special chars, such as
'bañándose')

(Then I write it to a file)*
utfString := (tm contents string) convertToWithConverter: (UTF8TextConverter
new).
aFile:= CrLfFileStream forceNewFileNamed: './myfile.txt'.
aFile nextPutAll: utfString.
aFile close.*

And that's it. When I open the file in TextEdit I get 'bañándose'.  I
have tried out some other bizarre strategies but they dont work either :-(

Thanks very much for your help,

             Javier
