code page xlation?

When I view a message with an a-ring character in it, using OS/2
YARN 0.92 with code page 8859-1 specified, the character appears
as an a-ring. When I look at the message with the editor epm,
from OS/2, I see the character as the hex string "3d4535", which
is the hex equivalent for =E5.

E5 is the offset into code page 1252 (ANSI Windows) for the
a-ring character. CP1252 is a subset of ISO CP 8859-1.

What function of YARN provides this kind of xlation. What is the
likely program than inserted the =E5 string into the file for the
a-ring character in the first place. Can anyone tell me where
this mapping function is defined or described.

Thanks
krl
