My wild theoretical guess. First I think you are right, the charset=
command has to be set properly. It is not going to be iso-8859-1 or
8. I don't know which iso character set is for Chinese; maybe you
can find out. Second, you would also have to find out which code
page of OS/2 is relevant to the Chinese character set, and chcp
accordingly.
