|You can add this to /etc/csh.cshrc as it will be inherited by

|
|	setenv LANG en_US.ISO8859-1

That works for the login shell, but when I su to another user (e.g.,
root), LANG is no longer in the environment.

|
|	default:\
|		:setenv=LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1:...

That works for the login shell, but when I su to another user (e.g.,
root), LANG is no longer in the environment.
