Re: accented characters in an xterm

Hi Kai,

Thanks for posting that sensible diagnostic, to create a file with
accented characters under ssh, then cat the file under kermit.

So, under ssh, i used the C-x 8 method for input, and
C-x RET t latin-1 RET to set the terminal display coding system,
per Eli.  Then, in a separate session under kermit, i catted the file.

Catting under kermit does not show the accents properly, but
it does correspond exactly to what emacs under kermit shows
when i set the terminal display coding system to latin-1.

So i suppose this makes it purely a matter of persuading
kermit to display certain characters more transparently?
