st: Greek/Cyrillic alphabets

["Schaffer, Mark E" <M.E.Schaffer@hw.ac.uk>]

And just to tie this thread and yesterday's thread on Cyrillic together,
Alan's quick-and-dirty method will display the available Cyrillic
characters after the Results Window font is changed to an 8-bit Cyrillic
font such as "ER Kurier 1251" or "ER Kurier KOI-8".

Cheers,
Mark
