Are you using any others? Ok - sorry, I'll try that again. Mostly Eterm when at home and KDE's konsole (not gnome). This has settings of: $TERM = linux Keytab = XTerm (XFree 4.x.x) I also use Putty on MS boxes. Not at one now but I have the $TERM set as 'linux' from memory. I hope this information is a little better.

Tried 'uterm' [not nice, thanks Kyle :-)] and it displays the same charset issues I have been having. > HUH! Don't see ANSI_X3.4-1968 very often... no idea if that's a > problem or not. Whilst I have set many things 'knowingly', I haven't touched any of LANG stuff at all (gone with defaults given when installing the OS I guess). More than happy to change anything to fix this (except the country I live in!). All good learning lessons. Many thanks. -- Regards, Roland PGP Key 0xDA39319B = BCF0 1214 BAE9 5A3D 46FC 21A6 360D 9398 DA39 319B
