Harry,
I see that the initial <<LA437>> got inside the ;U2; at the top of
the file. It shows as:
;U2<<LA437>>;
instead of
;U2;<<LA437>>
This is valid Help-file syntax, and intentional. It ensures that Editor
applies CP 437 when loading the U2 frame index into memory. In practice
it may never make a difference, but in principle, it's important. Where
it does make a real difference is with certain printer files, e.g.,
POSTGHST.PRN or POSTGHST.PR4. They won't load unless 850 is the default
LAnguage or ;PR<LA850>; is specified as the file ID. By analogy, LA 437
is U2's native code page.
