I tried from a Windows putty ssh'ing to a site with that setting set to 
UTF-8 and with TERM set to xterm for the target system.  the filepro 
menu did come up and with some color, but the lines & box chars were 
messed up.  If I set the translation to CP437 and tell it to notify a 
TERM of ansi (under 'Connection' - 'Data'), everything looks good 
(albeit mono which is all I ever want).  Of course I realize I'm not 
using 'screen(1)' in this test and testing nothing other than filepro's 
main menu, but am I doing something wrong for the xterm emulation?  
(I've used the ansi with cp437 for years.)
