Thanks Joe.

I don't. I'm just making a video tutorial on encodings and found that
different versions of REALbasic display a file with undefined encoding
differently. 

>>   Dim enc as TextEncoding
>>   s = Macfile
>>   enc=s.Encoding
>>   Exception err as NilObjectException
>>     MsgBox err.message
>> 
>> Although enc is Nil no error is raised and no MsgBox is being displayed.

That's what I thought too, but since I copied it from the LR I wondered if
I'm missing something ;-)

Thanks again
