Hi I'm really puzzled this time...
As I said in a previous message, when I try to enter non-'us-ascii' characters on an xterm all I get are escape sequences like \350 and such... Well, despite all the help I could get, this hasn't changed (even with my ~/.inputrc and ~/.bashrc including all suggested lines)... OK, but today I did a test I should have done before and... for root, who hasn't got any of those lines in his ~/.inputrc (the file doens't even exist) or ~/.bashrc... I tried to take a look on /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile, but only to find that: /etc/inputrc: set input_meta on set output_meta on /etc/profile (stripping all the unrelated lines): LESSCHARSET=latin1 OK... how can that be? It seems I'll have to comment all those lines you (and the docs) suggested to put on my ~/.bashrc and ~/.inputrc, but can anyone tell me why is this so? Also... I was told that there shall be a problem with my keytable, as it converts double quotes to \250 (half size dbl quotes)... How can I correct that? This is REALLY important... []'s Guilherme Zahn
