Your terminal needs to display them correctly.

You might want en_AU.ISO-8859-1 instead (both will display all the ISO-8859-1 characters, which include the Spanish accented characters) or possibly en_AU.UTF-8. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
