I was always able to emit French characters locally while in X. Remotely my shell is bash. I put: ~/.profile # Locale setup. export LANG=3D"C" export LC_CTYPE=3D"fr_CA.ISO8859-1" export LC_COLLATE=3D"fr_CA.ISO8859-1" ~/.inputrc # Locale setup. set convert-meta Off set editing-mode emacs set input-meta On set output-meta On I noticed that a test of creating a directory containing a French=20 character failed (it showed a question mark where the character lay)=20 until I set up .inputrc. So everything seems to work now although I haven't tried the console=20 method yet. Thanks a lot for your help. PM
