Hi!

I can't get vi to properly display my national characters. As I read in
nvi docs, I should set my locale, so I did:

setenv LANG C
setenv LC_CTYPE lt_LN.ISO-8859-1	<- from nvi docs (why ???)

and it still prints all the special characters as \xf3 \xb6 and so on.

What am I doing wrong?


Sincerely yours,
