I would like to set the locale of my 9.1 server to LANG="en_US.ISO8859-1" globally, i.e., put the locale entry in one file, and then have the locale propagate as I go into other shells and run various scripts. I have spent some quality time with google, and the best I have been about to ascertain is that I need to sprinkle the LANG setting throughout the various ENV variables and .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, and whatever files spread across my directory tree. That really seems counter-intuitive to me. Is it at all possible for me to specify in once place *somewhere" that the entire server is to use the locale setting LANG="en_US.ISO8859-1" ? I need a clue... thanks.
