please paste a=zh_TW.Big5;LC_CTYPE=$a;echo -e saw $a\\c into a xcinterm, xterm etc window and hit return.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ a=zh_TW.Big5;LC_CTYPE=$a;echo -e saw $a\\c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ g5 look at that, a "g5" is left on the command line. a carriage return has covered up the rest. now try [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ a=C;LC_CTYPE=$a;echo -e saw $a\\c saw [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ so C gives correct results. Anyway, I submitted a bash bug but they think i am crazy so dont answer. please submit a bug for me. p.s. i dont subscribe to gmane.linux.debian.user.chinese.big5 due do spam, so CC me. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
