Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Dave, You really need to read the iso_8859_1 faq. ftp to rtfm.mit.edu :: /pub/usenet/comp.unix.questions/ In there you'll find this: ISO_8859-1_National_Character_Set_FAQ It should answer this question for you. Specifically (if I remember correctly), there is a section about using COUNTRY.SYS in dos to get this going for you. If you are on a unix system, then do this in your ~/.login file: setenv LANGC setenv LC_TYPE iso_8859_1 Hope this helps.
