How about a bit more detail on behaviour and effects like:

@findex setlocale AT r{, standard and current locales supported}
The function @code{setlocale} now supports the following categories:
LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_NUMERIC, LC_MONETARY, LC_TIME.  POSIX
LC_MESSAGES not supported.  Due to limitations of country.sys driver
only current user locale "" and "C" (aka "POSIX") locales supported.
Modifies character classes used in ctype.h and regex.h, returns
appropriate values from strcoll() and localeconv() functions, changes
decimal character used for converting numeric strings on input and
output, and strftime() "%x" and "%X" conversions to use NLS format.

Thanks. Take care, Brian Inglis
