>Description:
when using more to paginate a file containing extended characters, such
as accented characters in the ISO-8859-1 set, it displays à (a grave) as ^`, and 
a ç (c cedilla) as ^g, etc.

A command line option to display extended characters would be useful


>How-To-Repeat:
more any file with french, spanish, german characters.
>Fix:
isprint routine in GCC is the source of the problem.
Would need to use a different macro, possibly not ctype, or a locale
knowlegable one at least.
