[Asterisk-Users] Editing Asterisk config files with WORD Pad

[Jason Pyeron]

a unicode document comes in two flavors UTF8 and UCS2 in windows UTF8 
"may" work, but UCS2 cannot work, as it is 2 bytes per character.

UTF8 will not work if wordpad puts a byte order sentinal at the begining 
or if you use any characters above 0x7e (or 0x7f?)

use ascii (DOS format) to save your files, but beware of line ending 
problems...

why not just use nano/pico?
