I haven't used Mined lately, so I forget some details. It was something vague like -E3 to tell it what encoding your text files were written in. Yes, it can detect codepage (or maybe force with +E3 ??), and IIRC, it even would color text differently (at least in E-o) to distinguish between "c" and "c with circumflex", etc. I think he even added "x metodo" support for easier typing, e.g. "cx" for "c^". You can of course load multiple codepages and switch between them with MODE (but KEYB might get confused in some rare instances, so you might have to disable that first). For instance, there is support for E-o in MODE and KEYB (via cp853) but no COUNTRY.SYS support, so I don't think NLSFUNC will work.

I'd have to recheck some old notes of mine. I haven't done a lot of writing lately (nor really ever, just a fun hobby).
