Locale setting. Vim also keeps a variable called "encoding" which indicates what the file's encoding is. Its initial value is set by the locale (either LANG or LC_CTYPE, I don't remember which). If you want the file's encoding to be Hebrew, make sure you start vim with the locale set to he_IL.ISO8859-8. Otherwise, you'll have to put a "set encoding" into your .vimrc. You should probably read the help files regarding encoding, as there is an editor encoding and a file encoding, and if they are different, vim uses iconv to convert between them. It gets a bit complicated.
