Hi,

It seems that there are going to be a number of cases where Ethereal does 
not handle internationalization. For example, if someone has an SMB 
capture that contains file names that are in a non-ASCII character set, 
they might have difficulty entering text strings to perform functions 
like:

    smb.file contains "some non-ASCII string"

Is there a way to handle this, or am I simply wrong here?

Regards
