The simple explanation is that instead of typing LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8 vi filename, as I wrote you, or LC_CTYPE=he_IL.utf8 vi filename, as I intended, I wrote LC_TYPE=he_IL.utf8 vi filename. The moment I corrected that, everything fell in place. עכשיו אני יכול להכניס עברית )ב-mlterm לפחות(. I pretty much dislike mlterm, and would like to try to use uxterm, instead, despite the need to reverse the Hebrew strings. The problem is that in that case, I have to give the name of the UTF-8 font that understands Hebrew characters. It's clear that I have such fonts: mlterm finds one and the browser finds at least four. But I have no idea how to find out their names.
I would welcome any suggestion. Thanks very much for your help so far.
