hello again,

Sorry, this was not an imp or turba problem. It seems
to be a problem with the JavaScript interpreter in the
Mozilla browser. Most browsers are OK but in my case
Mozilla 1.2.1 JavaScript interpreter refused to
process encoded non-ascii chars %80-%ff.

I guess that some other problems mentioned 
on this mailing list concerning non-ascii 
characters in imp may have same explanation.
