For instance, writing Greek characters at the tcsh prompt works fine here: : $ env | grep LC : LC_COLLATE=el_GR.ISO8859-7 : LC_CTYPE=el_GR.ISO8859-7 : $ env | grep LANG : LANG=C : $ tcsh : giorgos@gothmog[16:15pm]/home/giorgos> [type some greek text; hit ^C] : giorgos@gothmog[16:15pm]/home/giorgos> exit - Giorgos
