Dear friends!

I am still try to get over my problem with ASCII 8-bit characters translation. I now know about ~/.initrc file, readline, bind - bit more.

But it still does not work. Look here:

My ~/.initrc contains necessary setup:

set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set input-meta on
set output-meta on

Later I can check with "bind -v" that all these variables are set:

set bind-tty-special-chars on
set blink-matching-paren on
set byte-oriented off
set completion-ignore-case off
set convert-meta off
set disable-completion off
set enable-keypad off
set expand-tilde on
set history-preserve-point off
set horizontal-scroll-mode off
set input-meta on
set mark-directories on
set mark-modified-lines off
set mark-symlinked-directories off
set match-hidden-files on
set meta-flag on
set output-meta on
set page-completions on
set prefer-visible-bell on
set print-completions-horizontally off
set show-all-if-ambiguous off
set show-all-if-unmodified off
set visible-stats off
set bell-style audible
set comment-begin #
set completion-query-items 100
set editing-mode emacs
set keymap emacs

But anyway these letters do not work:

$ echo -e "\xC0\xC1\xC2\xC3\xC3\xC4\xC5\xC6\xC7"
AAAAAAA?C

I check the same sequence on Knoppix 5.1. Here all is all right (pseudographic symbols are printed). Where's the rub???
