If the text in Statline_Message() contains characters above 7F (hex), those characters are not displayed correctly, but instead replaced with some words.

For example, the following command:
Statline_Message("Väärin")
displays
"VEscapeEscaperin"

Statline_Message("München")
displays
"Mboxnchen"

Statline_Message("10µA")
displays
"10writeA"

This means that you can not use Statline_Message to display messages in languages other than English.

However
Message("10µA", STATLINE)
is displayed correctly. But it can not be used in most cases since the text disappears immediately.

Oops. OK we will fix that.
As I mentioned, Tom Burt is getting back to fixing some problems now.
