Try "man locale" on your system.  In my case (HP-UX; your OS might work
quite differently), I ran the command "locale -a", and received a list
of supported locales.  After examining them for a while, I chose this
one that I liked:  "en_US.iso88591".  After deciding on this, I selected
the locale by setting the $LANG variable in my environment.  For csh,
that means adding "setenv LANG en_US.iso88591" to my ~/.login, and for
bash/ksh it means adding "export LANG=en_US.iso88591" to ~/.profile.
