It seemed to have solved the character problem but I now have a not responding mintty window. I started mintty from the rxvt window and tried to send it to the background with CTRL/D (which is what I have mapped susp to). mintty didn't go into the background so I CTRL/C'ed it in rxvt. That freed up the rxvt prompt but didn't kill the mintty process. The window still hangs around with that (Not Responding) headline. I guess I stick with old trusty rxvt and skip this new fangled utf-8 stuff. But how do I get back a pure C locale? I also want ls -l to output the old standard date format. So setenv LANG C.what? C.ISO-8859-15 is kind of nice (the accented chars display fine) but ls then shows the iso-type date format.
