right, but at least on my box, if i specify LANG=en_US, i don't need to set LC_CTYPE explicitly to be able to view accented characters: balthasar[~]13:50:26$ echo $LANG en_US balthasar[~]13:51:34$ echo $LC_CTYPE balthasar[~]13:51:39$ locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" <...snip...> balthasar[~]13:54:52$ ls -ld /music/balthasar/Björk drwxrwsr-x 3 seanius music 4096 2002-08-16 13:53 /music/balthasar/Björk but i did have to copy and paste the ö on the command line :) on a related note, is there an easy way to type accented characters on the command line? that's something i've been wondering for ages. --sean
