Using a RedHat machine?

The problem is with the LANG environment variable.

RH (and probably other distros) are doint UTF (8 I think) as their
default language setting.  Eterm doesn't like it at all.

I stuck the following at the bottom of my .bashrc:

LANG=en_US.iso885915
export LANG

Fixed it right up.
