The answer is to use a UI (terminal or terminal emulator) with the 8 bit character set ISO 8859-7 (e.g., see http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html#ISO-8859-7 or http://www.kostis.net/charsets/iso8859.7.htm). GT.M doesn't yet support Unicode, but any 8-bit character set can be stored in a GT.M database - all you have to do is get it in and out. In fact, you can even store Unicode in the database, but until Unicode support is added to GT.M, there will be awkwardness such as $L() returning a length in bytes rather than a length in characters.
A collation module (described in the Programmers Guide) may have to be written so that fields like names of people, towns, medications, etc., are appear in the culturally correct order.
