Re: Titelling image array in montage -- German umlauts

First of all: I solved the codepage problem.
I had to think the other way round and let DOS change the output to the 
ANSI code page, i.e. 1252, via:

CHCP 1252

There should also be an option to the command processor /A performing 
that job, but this did not work on my Windows XP machine. (/U, switching 
the output to unicode, however worked...)

I don't see how this testing could be done. To be on the safe side, you 
would have to start another command shell anyway, I guess.

In order to transport information from one command shell into another, 
you would have to write it into a file, I guess. At the end, the whole 
thing would probably get much trickier than just starting another batch 
file. Or could you give an easy example how to do it?

Well, the help output is rather lengthy, but you're right. Here is the 
REG file which switches this option on:

=========================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"DelayedExpansion"="1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"DelayedExpansion"="1"
=========================================

Setting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER is optional.

I am bothering this forum with all this, because I would like to add 
this example (and all the hints) to 
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/.

Thanks for your help so far.
