Subsystem Utility Program 

Figure 7-5 shows a special category of multilingual application, the
Hewlett-Packard subsystem utility program.  Many of these programs are
not typically used by end users, but are used to manipulate end-user data
in conjunction with application programs.  They determine which language
to use at run time through a user-entered keyword or command, or
defaults.

The user interface in these programs has not been made localizable since
many of these programs are not end-user tools.

For every character set, a character attribute table is defined.  This
table of 256 entries holds an attribute (type) for every character.
