Thanks Francois. I don;t think that's the problem though. If I use the LC shell command to execute the locale command and put it's output into a file, the contents of the file are correct. BUt then if I open the file in LC and put the contents into a field, it's garbled again.
I wonder if there are some strange hidden characters in the output that are confusing LC?
