Subject: Re: bash accepts only 7-bit ASCII ??

: From: jorg DOT schaible AT db DOT com on 10/05/2000 10:53
: 
: my bash input line seems to accept just characters in the range of 
: 7-bit-ASCII. On a German keyboard I am not able to type any of the 
: umlauts (äöü). Even on a UK based keyboeard layout I cannot enter 
: letters like áÁéÉ (e.g. CTRL+ALT+A). Also the Windows direct input 
: mode using ALT+0+ASCII-Code is not available. Just to mensionI have 
: not .inputrc (mensioned in another thread with a similar problem) and 
: I wonder wether there is any configuration possibility to make these 
: characters available?
: 
: Found it myself (RTFM) and created an according .inputrc
: Sorry for bothering the list.

The .inputrc solves the problem, however, the behaviour is still not 
compatible with Unix bash where 8-bit characters are accepted even if 
no .inputrc exists.

Regards,
Thomas Wolff
