Dear friends! I am still try to get over my problem with ASCII 8-bit characters translation. I now know about ~/.initrc file, readline, bind - bit more.
But it still does not work. Look here: My ~/.initrc contains necessary setup: set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set input-meta on set output-meta on Later I can check with "bind -v" that all these variables are set: set bind-tty-special-chars on set blink-matching-paren on set byte-oriented off set completion-ignore-case off set convert-meta off set disable-completion off set enable-keypad off set expand-tilde on set history-preserve-point off set horizontal-scroll-mode off set input-meta on set mark-directories on set mark-modified-lines off set mark-symlinked-directories off set match-hidden-files on set meta-flag on set output-meta on set page-completions on set prefer-visible-bell on set print-completions-horizontally off set show-all-if-ambiguous off set show-all-if-unmodified off set visible-stats off set bell-style audible set comment-begin # set completion-query-items 100 set editing-mode emacs set keymap emacs But anyway these letters do not work: $ echo -e "\xC0\xC1\xC2\xC3\xC3\xC4\xC5\xC6\xC7" AAAAAAA?C I check the same sequence on Knoppix 5.1. Here all is all right (pseudographic symbols are printed). Where's the rub???
