Keiji is referring to one of my shareware apps, I'd like to be making
income from Japan also but he has a problem with text display.

Keiji can enter Japanese characters into fields in my app but that data
gets saved in a user property. Upon opening, the app takes data from
user properties and then populates the fields (the user clicks a scrollingList
fld to select the data he/she wants displayed).

How can I get that data (from a user prop) to display in a fld in any
language? If they input English then English, Japanese then Japanese, French
then French.  Help!
