Hi Benoit

I don't know if this reply is going to be placed in the correct position, if 
not then forgive me... 1st time replying and i don't know if i'm doing this 
right. :)

So, the program can't create files in the same directory it is located, ok, 
but that isn't realy read-only because if i told him to open a file in write 
mode, i can write to it even if the file is in the same directory as the 
program. that i've tested :)
oh, it's true, the help should be a little more clear in this matters.

A second question :
Do you think, maybe in the future, adding more codifications like iso8859-15 
on Gambas or it will be always limited to UTF-8?
My system is in iso8859-15 and i'm making this program, to read huge data 
files that were created by is tween-broder (for windows) that i've created 
many years ago... so, i'm making a linux version of a programa i've made for 
windows... the great gool is making the two versions 100% compatible to share 
the same data files... i know there are some things to work around, but 
having Gambas only working with UTF-8 is becoming a pain in the neck :( 
It's a frustration because i don't see any caracters changing while open my 
files with windows or with debian in iso8859-15.
I'm writing from Portugal, UTF-8 is not realy the end of the world to me, i 
think (hope) i can add some convertion instructions, but let's us see things 
this way:
If somebody from the other side of the world want to create (with gambas) 
programs with the text, titles, captions, etc in chinese or korean caracters, 
can he do it with UTF-8 ?

thank's... you got a great program here, mutch better than another basic ide 
i've tried ;)

Amarok
