On my Suse 9.1 too! System.Charset doesn't work here.

One should add that it's absolutely necessary to re-convert the strings 
before giving them back to the TextArea if you converted them for doing 
something with them in a simple string variable.

So, if you do

t$ = conv$(TextArea1.Text, Desktop.Charset, System.Charset)

you will have to

TextArea1.Text = conv$(t$, System.Charset, Desktop.Charset)
