I was specifically referring to file names.  They show up OK in the
title bar when first opened but there's some way of saving them
(perhaps under a new name, and it may have to do with a length
restriction) where they get written to the directory I suspect in
shit-JIS.  Of course Mac file system doesn't know shit-JIS from a hole
in the ground (it's UTF-8), so after that nothing gets them right.
