I couldn't find anything on this in the handbook or FAQ, so...

I'm having trouble seeing ISO-8859-1 accent characters on my FreeBSD
box.  Let's say I 'more' (or 'emacs -nw', etc.) on a file in an xterm
with these characters.  They come up as '?' characters.

I know it's not (entirely?) the xterm's fault, because if I 'ssh' into
another machine (an Alphaserver, for example), and 'more' the same
file, the accents come out fine.

I'm guessing it has something to do with my shell/env variables.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David
