Can anyone help me on this one ?
On some of our Solaris & AIX servers I can edit accented characters
(Latin-1) in the vi editor without problems, on others the octal encoding of
the accented characters is displayed instead (which is a pain when you're
editing Aleph config files for a French interface).
In the latter case the accented character displays OK on the Unix command
line.
I've checked various settings in the .profile files, but can't work out
what's making the difference.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

E.g. On one machine é entered => "\351" displayed
(OS=SunOS 5.8, .profile includes 'set -o v', TERM=xterm )
On another é entered => "é" displayed
(OS=SunOS 5.8, idem above )
