FvwmTabs is written in Perl but I'm sure what you say about Tcl is just
as true for Perl.

Thanks to your SUPERB instructions, I'm now able to create a cyrillic
directory name & view it properly with:
xterm -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-koi8-r'
As a first step to tracking down your problem with FvwmTabs, I
tried to set the title to the directory name. As I use zsh, the
commands for this are:
cd tmp/cyrillic/$cyrillic_text_here
setTitle () { print -nP '%{\e]2;'$1'\a\e]1;'$2'\a%}' }
setTitle $PWD
But the xterm title is *NOT* displayed correctly. Lots of garbage.
Have I done something wrong? Are you able to get the title displayed
correctly?

No, it's very useful. I just needed something to test with. Thanks.
SCoTT. :)
