[sldev] International characters in prim names

[Shack Dougall]

Ah, I might have answered my own question.  They didn't create the prim 
name "Escalón" in the Second Life viewer.  They created that prim name 
in 3ds Max using my plugin.

So, what I need is confirmation that international characters are not 
allowed in Prim Names in Second Life.
