proper source encoding for wscript.echo?

I have some .VBS files that use simple wscript.echo calls like:

wscript.echo "this is an ellipsis …"

I just noticed these no longer display correctly but display like this:

script dialog box

I'm guessing that the encoding used to execute them has somehow changed?!? How do I fix this so that the ALT+0133 character in the script displays as … ?

    Hi,

    You can select "Save As ..." from the File menu and set the file encoding to ANSI.Best Regards,
