As I said, in a terminal (konsole or uxterm) I see local Hebrew file names
ok, except for directionality, and in konqueror I see local Hebrew file
names ok, no problem with directionality.

The problem is when trying to see win898 shares with smb:/ in konqueror. I
searched the archives, and tried
all relevant encodings in the browser, as Yedidyah suggsted (cp862 was not
among the ones to chose from).
