	not found. BUT changing the Settings -> Encoding  [long list] to UTF8
	may be working.

	are they are kde/konsole wizards out there who can point me to just ONE 
	place in ~/.kde3/*/* and to the konsole* file where things live?
	i'll change everything byhand if i have to, but would think that the
	default is set somewhere centrally.

	thanks very much, Roland.

	gary

	ps: i'll 2- and 3-ck to be sure!!
