Well, I ended up writing a c program to fix this problem. Just a very
short c program with some pad_$ calls, namely pad_$create_window, and
pad_$edit_wait (not to return to shell until the pad is close). It handles
case correctly (at least under Aegis 9.6). Only problem I have is 
occassionaly I got an error 'permission denied' so I have to use a shell
script to call the program and passing the filename to it.

When playing with the pad calls, I found an undocumented feature which
allows you to load various fonts and use them to display a file if the
file contains some unprintable characters. More on this later.
