Yes, now the beautiful letters é and è came out in bash, when typed. However, I still haven't gotten vi or vim to accept or display é etc. Neither does grep, and probably others. Even though I set the environment variable export LANG=fr_BE.iso8859-1 However, Interesting note and clue perhaps, if I run xterm, and then suddenly inside xterm, vi and grep etc, now show these characters é without problem! What is vi getting when xterm starts that it is not getting under bash, what is grep getting under xterm that it is not getting under bash? Any suggestions as to how to get vi to translate these characters é correctly while running vi directly under bash. I have waded through the vi documentation and I can't seem to get anywhere, there must be some simple command somewhere to set the locale (charset). But WHERE and WHAT? -----Original Message----- From: Michel Debar [mailto:michel DOT debar AT fundp DOT ac DOT be] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 8:54 AM To: CLYNES Darius (SCIC) Subject: Re: How do you get accent characters like é and è in bash and vi Bonjour, je suis loin d'être expert en cygwin, mais je peux néanmoins vous apporter une aide modeste : Pour Bash créez un fichier .inputrc contenant ce qui suit : set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on et installez le dans le répertoire c:/cygwin/home/loginusername dans mon cas : c:/cygwin/home/mdebar Pour tcsh (si vous l'utilisez) Avec mon clavier azerfy français, je donne à tcsh la commande setenv LANG fr_BE.iso8859-1 Cordialement, Michel Debar At 22:16 13/03/2001 +0100, you wrote: I am working with some sources that contain "international" characters used in languages other than english, (typically french) Vi interprets sources from unix with accents like é and è strangely. Windiff and windows programs like notepad see the same sources from unix with no problem. What is happening? Is there a setting in bash or vi that I need to make, keyboard or locale etc? If so how do I do that? Anybody know? PS. é in expérience, shows up as expÚrience è in interprète, shows up as interprÞte here are few other examples: Avez-vous dÚjÓ travaillÚ en tant qu'interprÞte Quelle expÚrience professionnelle d'interprÞte avez-vous PrÚcisez le nombre de jours d'interprÚtation prestÚs.

Indiquez les pays visitÚs, l'annÚe Bash won't even respond to the keyboard character é (under 2 as lower case). Just beeps (belgian keyboard setting).
