[TxMt] keep it in iso-8859-1

[Hans-Jörg Bibiko]

Hi,

I have a tiny problem with that. Maybe caused by an other version of  
iconv??

The point here is that even characters which could be converted, like  
'ö', will discard.
If you want to copy from Word, let's say 'ör ‚tås’', this command  
only will insert 'r ts' although 'ö' and 'å' are defined in Latin 1  
and ‚tås’ should be replaced by '.
On the other hand, for non-Latin 1 characters it will show a '?'.  
Fine, but if you want find/replace all '?' in a document - well, this  
could be very tricky.

Best,
