Japanese field

[ron barber]

Hi

I use Val on the Mac with Japanese all the time. The Japanese is SJIS. 
However, I do not use Japanese as the language of the field, I use 
ASCII. That is, the original data is SJIS but the Valentina field that 
I import it into is plain text ASCII.  This works and allows searching, 
regex etc.
