It was interested to see this article as it is something I had been
pondering recently.  On the whole I found it very helpful and only in the
bash section did I find my experience differ from what is written.  I am
attaching a patch which changes the article a) to what I believe to be the
correct format for your example and b) to point people in the right
direction for their correct locale info.  I hope you find this useful.

I'm guessing this is still a work in progress?  It could use one or two
grammar and style alterations in places, imho, but is, I would say, a very
good first attempt.  If you would like me to give suggestions on grammar
and style then I will do.  If not I can live with that :)

Thanks again - I now have my Euro symbol.  All I have to do now is get
pine to use it :)
