Sorry for the delay, Alain; I've been tinkering with several terminal programs, checking my encoding settings. That seems to be it, at least for PuTTY; I must have had the encoding set to ISO-8859-1. I can't reproduce this any more with gnome-terminal; perhaps there was a similar situation. I tried Mac OS X's Terminal again and the index lines are still wrapping with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and Terminal -> Window Settings... -> Display -> Character Set Encoding set to "Unicode (UTF-8)". I've attached a screen shot (FWIW, this is with TERM=vt100. TERM=xterm-color is similar, but in color). iTerm (http://iterm.sourceforge.net/) exhibits similar behavior, but I can't find any character encoding settings in its preferences. john -- John Morrissey _o /\ ---- __o [EMAIL PROTECTED] _-< \_ / \ ---- < \, www.horde.net/ __(_)/_(_)________/ \_______(_) /_(_)__
