Phew.... ok I think I finally got it resolved now. Turned out to be an issue with Ansi vs Unicode. Everything will be transparent to the developer as far as usage goes, but I had to modify the code base that deals with scripting to handle this particular case. I've tested PGE in Delphi 5 (the lowest version I officially support) through D2010 so it should work for everyone that has been having issues recently. I will post an update shortly.

Thanks.
