Possibly irrelevant questions (we can only use v5.2 having no .NET 4+ 
capability on our old win machines), but (a) can it be "turned off" even if 
it's "on" by default? (I think you had mentioned this previously) and (b) 
how will it affect UTF-8 input with properly formed characters? (we have 
nearly 40% of our records in French, use French keyboards or e.g. <Alt>+133 
for à aacute.)

Thanks and regards,
