Nice idea, and nearly there... I think.

However, executing the script (Win32) with the default codepage for US yields:

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xb5, with no 
+preceding start byte) at (eval 27) line 7.
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xb5, with no 
+preceding start byte) at (eval 27) line 19.
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xb5, with no 
+preceding start byte) at (eval 27) line 34.

Switching codepages helps:

>mode con cp select=65001

<p>Certainly an improvement... and given my (wilful) iggerance of code
+pages and charsets, perhaps one (user) step from being as desired. Ho

or off has no apparent effect. Nonetheless, interesing project!
