I have tried new Wrapl's version (for Windows). On the whole, it all
works well. All those methods I mentioned in previous letters are
working.
The following are the errors I found in the old Wrapl version. They
remain in the new version also. Perhaps, I am making wrong invocation.
-----------------------------------------
File.Temp() function crashes the program:
-----------------------------------------
Interactive Wrapl [1.9:1074]
--> IMP IO.File;
NIL
--> VAR f <- File.Temp();

Here is the dump:

Foreign character set mismatch:

"Russian Language"
--> ALL S:any("s");
[3, 4]
--> VAR s <- "Русский Язык";
"\x90\xE3\xE1\xE1\xAA\xA8\xA9 \x9F\xA7\xEB\xAA"
--> Out:write('{s[3]}\n{s[4]}\n');

The file in attachment is the source code (UTF-8) that demonstrates
the work of :map method with foreign characters. ltxt and utxt are
unreadable in any encoding I tried. lower, upper and text variables
are outputted as is and are readable.
To summarize on Std.String library: those methods that access a string
by index are working with foreign character sets (e.g. :"[]") but
"modifiers" are not.

Regarding Interactive Wrapl mode: is this necessary (helpful) to
output module name after results are printed (i.e.
/usr/lib/IO/Terminal.Out)?
