SYMPTOMS
========

When you type a message in WinPopup, many extended characters do not display
correctly in the message area. For example, typing the extended character
ALT+0149 normally displays a bullet, but in WinPopUp, a thin block is displayed.

CAUSE
=====

WinPopup uses a predefined original equipment manufacturer (OEM) character set
that is limited to specific characters and cannot be modified.
