This is a function of your locale. Those of us who deal regularly with non-English language text generally set our locales so that such things are displayed. (In the original email I saw characters with diacritical marks.) My locale is en_US. In LANG_C, accents generally don't show up. Type "locale" at a shell prompt to see your current locale, "locale -a" to see what your system supports. BTW, in emacs look at iso-accents-mode to enter such things. In xterm's one can set "*eightBitInput: true" in .Xdefaults to use the meta key to enter high-ascii characters. Unfortunately, this means one loses meta as an edit modifier (M-F to go forward, M-delete to delete a word, etc.). -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B A cool book of games, highly worth checking out: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931686963/purple-20 Attachment:
