Try to add some lines to your config files:
~/.cshrc:
setenv LANG en_US.ISO8859-15
~/.shrc:
LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15
~/.login_conf:
me:\
:charset=iso-8859-15:\
:lang=en_US.ISO8859-15:\
This works for me - if you use german language apps replace "en_US.ISO8859-15"
by "de_DE.ISO8859-15". You can find some more infos in 'man setlocale' and
'man environ'. To display your current locale settings use the command
'locale'.
Cheers,
