I spent quite a while looking at why Windows was filtering out high ascii 
characters that were sent to the display widget and haven't come up with a 
solution.  The procedure for sending characters to the widget is the same 
on both Linux and Windows, and the problem only manifests on Windows.

When I have some time (which is in short supply at the moment) I'll be 
porting the Windows version of Papaya to use GTK 2.0 (it uses 1.2 at the 
moment) which uses a much improved text display widget.  I'm hoping that 
the move to GTK2.0 will solve both the high ascii problem and some other 
minor display problems that show only on Windows.

Yep, current CVS works perfectly on Linux.  It _should_ work on Windows 
too, but due to some undocumented differences in behaviour on the two 
platforms it doesn't.

I will email the list when I have a fix for the problem and will probably 
release 0.94 shortly afterwards.
