Has anyone read my request for help and has any idea of what could be 
happening with my Cygwin installation? I didn't have any problems 
with accented characters until last Saturday. Then I formatted and 
reinstalled Windows and now I have these problems:

- I cannot paste accented characters into rxvt. They are replaced 
with weird symbols. I can type them and I can copy them, but I cannot 
paste them back;

- accented characters become question marks in filenames listed by 
'ls'. The document 'Auto correção.doc' becomes 'Auto corre??o.doc.

- if I use 'dir', it becomes 'Auto\ corre\347\343o.doc'';

- if I pass the output of 'dir' to a file, I see the same problems, 
but if I pass the output of 'ls', everything changes! The accented 
characters are printed correctly, but the color codes are printed! 
See this sample line:
	-rw-r--r--    1 Luc      all        219986 May 28 15:27 Auto 
Correção.txt

- cat file.txt displays the file's contents correctly, even if it 
contains accented characters;

- if I try to zip a file whose name contains accented characters with 
a shell extension program I use (PowerPro), I get an error message 
regarding some "Sharing/Network-protection error". If the file's name 
does not have any accented characters, it zips up fine.

- if I try to gzip a file whose name contains accented characters 
(with or without the shell extension program), it compresses without 
complaints, but accented characters become weird symbols inside the 
archive.

Hannu offered me some kind help, but it has to do with typing into 
rxvt, and I don't have any problem with that. Like I said, I didn't 
have any problems with accented characters until last Saturday. I 
formatted and reinstalled Windows and now I have all these strange 
problems. Any help greatly and desperately appreciated.
