Part of it is our own deficiency in that convertWcharToChar() is only designed 
for single-byte character sets. I think there may be another part, though. It's 
not clear to me what their keyboards generate. Perhaps it's BIG5, but we should 
probably verify this.

There may be another aspect as well. I believe they work in at least three 
character sets (BIG5, GB2312, UTF-8) simultaneously. They do this by telling 
the screen driver which character sets to check for via its charset= parameter. 
In theory, they want to paste using the same character set as the screen is 
currently using. We need to verify this, of course.

Coscell: Do you know which character set your keyboard actually generates?
