Hi

I'm from Sweden and we have three more letters in our alphabet than you=20
english-speaking people. When I use X there is no problem with that, but =
when=20
I use VI in textmode it gives problems, I don't get the right ascii-signs=
=2E=20
When I was using linux slackware (I still have a slackware partition) I=20
solved the problem with a file called .inputrc in the homedirectory=20
containing this:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on

This is of course not a problem when using free bsd because it doesn't=20
understand my language anyway, but I want to write swedish texts in VI in=
=20
textmode.

/greetings from the country of the midnight sin
