It works in bash! Thanks! I usually use tcsh so I'll need the equivalent features for it, but this is a nice work-around for me. The tcsh man page says Unknown characters (i.e. those that are neither printable nor control characters) are printed in the format \nnn. If the tty is not in 8 bit mode, other 8 bit characters are printed by converting them to ASCII and using standout mode. The shell never changes the 7/8 bit mode of the tty and tracks user-initiated changes of 7/8 bit mode. NLS users (or, for that matter, those who want to use a meta key) may need to explicitly set the tty in 8 bit mode through the appropriate stty(1) command in, e.g., the ~/.login file. So I tried: $ stty -parenb -istrip cs8 or $ stty pass8 and it still beeps at me. At least now I know it should work, because it works in bash!
