Now it's time to ask what are the voodoo commands to set up in my ~/.zshrc or other initiation files (probably including my muttrc) that will let me print to stdout, characters like the "e-aigu" or "u-umlaut" and the currency pound or Euro? I keep running into '\240' characters that are likely M$ format commands. Catting a saved file thru Giorgos sed 's/[^[:print:]]/*/g' {or whatever} resolved that --and other such. But it isn't my main gripe. I realize this is probably a complex issue; it's time to work on a reasonable solution. thanks in advance for all insights, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
