Nikola,
Thanks for the clue re xterm. I'm still using CTWM most
places and use xterm exclusively. Sometimes I've been able to
use 8859-1 in vi, sometimes not. Never read the man page (hanging
my head). OTOT, I do have the LC* variables set ... else perl
complains.
...It's time to join the 20th century:)
