Re: Help tracking down a shell problem

Here's what I discovered. If I put "en_US.UTF-8" into $LANG before executing the locale LC_NUMERIC command, I get the correct output, at least for my computer. Same for LC_MONETARY and LC_TIME. The question is, how do I get the correct setting for $LANG from the OS without hard coding it, as I'm
