Not exactly, but this is not the problem :-)

The two conversions work on my machine, and I have a Mandrake 10 with 
System.Charset = "ISO-8859-15" (It is ISO-8859-1 with the Euro sign).

I tried with my first name :-) in the IDE console window.

?Conv$("benoît", System.Charset, Desktop.Charset)
benoît
?Conv$("benoît", Desktop.Charset, System.Charset)
benoît

Note that the console window does not use Desktop.Charset but System.Charset 
to display strings.
