Hello Chris, you could try to use a shell script like this: #! /bin/sh export [EMAIL PROTECTED] foo You need to verify that you are using a valid locale name! for me its "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". (You can verify it with the "locale" command) -Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
