Description

On non-english platforms, such as a French platform, the encoding used in the groovy shell is DOS's Cp850, though Java thinks the text entered on System.in is in windows-1252.

What yields to the fact that when entering a text with accents like :

groovy> "?t?"

Groovy shell returns :

groovy> "?t?"

We should wrap System.in and System.out with the Cp850 charset.
