FW: Funky character translation

["Allen, Mark" <ALLENMA1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Something we just find out:

        We were using the copy function within PDM to move the source member
from Library to Library.  If we use the "OLD" STRSEU and copy the funky
British pound does not show up....

        Guess we'll use SEU for these
