Yes you are right in that the short name hides the ø letter..
     SCI  =  C:/PROGRA~1/SCILAB~1.3  
and
     getenv('TMP') returns  C:\DOCUME~1\TORBJR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp  


I opened a cmd shell and ran
    md c:\æøå
    set TMP=c:\æøå
and started scilab from this shell:
    "c:\Program Files\scilab-5.0.3\bin\WScilex.exe"

Scilab starts without problem and getenv('TMP') returns c:\æøå as it should.
So does the TMPDIR variable (  c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_ ).

The fun part is that running  chdir(TMPDIR)  works:

-->TMPDIR
 TMPDIR  =
 
 c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_  
 
-->chdir(TMPDIR)
 ans  =
 
  T 
 
-->pwd
 ans  =
 
 c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_  
 
BUT this command does not work:

-->chdir('c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_')
Can't go to directory c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_.
 ans  =
 
  F
