Hello Sebastien,
(I'm looking through the Debian list of nano bugs...) Twelve years ago you reported a problem with nano relating to using it in an ISO8859-1 locale. The oldest version of nano that I have available is 2.0.6, not the 2.0.2 that you reported it for. When, in that version, I set the locale (LC_ALL) to en_US.iso88591 and switch the charset of the terminal (Xfce4, I don't know how to do this in xterm) to ISO8859-1, then I can enter things like á and é and ë perfectly fine. (And when I look at the hex dump of the data, they are indeed one-byte ISO8859-1 characters, not multibyte UTF-8 ones.) So... I'm inclined to attribute the problem that you saw to some misconfiguration of the locale settings. But maybe you can shed some more light on this? Regards, Benno
