If you know how to persuade Windows to accept UTF-8, please let us
know.  I was under the impression that Windows could not handle it.
Microsoft (and Sun) chose to go with 16-bit encodings instead.

As to "set encoding cp852", how would you suggest this be made automatic?  
And why?  Can't you just put it in your initialization file?

I have not seen that.  Could you provide a specific recipe for 
replicating this problem?
