make shure, in /etc/inputrc you have the line set convert-meta off (at least this helped for germen characters in the console) if less complains about a binary file when viewing a file with spanish characters try setting LC_CTYPE=es_ES ISO-8859-1 or whatever codepage you use. hth martin -- 30DC 1D28 1D79 32F5 5E67 3ABB 28EE B35A 3E8D CCC0
