encoding hebrew text

[Uri Even-Chen]

OK, I'm attaching an example file with a few lines in hebrew (encode
it in windows-1255 to read the hebrew).  I checked now and I can
convert the file to windows-1255 encoding, the problem was that it was
already in utf-8 and that's why I couldn't convert it.  but I still
need to encode it in utf-8 with hebrew enabled, so I will be able to
read the file with notepad and notepad++.
