Ah, I think I finally understand now what the problem is! :)

It is not the encoding - it is that the hyphens are unescaped, and the
utf8 terminal deals poorly with that, assigning them some random (to me)
character.  I will escape the hyphens, and figure out how to escape the
' (single quote) characters as well.

I am not worried about one more open bug :)  When I get this stuff fixed
up, I will upload it.

Thanks again,
