Ok. > # echo $TERM > Eterm > > I'm sorry to be such a newbie not to know what a "UTF-8 issue" is ... ;-) Basically, the Fedora rpm (as well as packages from several other vendors) includes a set of patches which enable MC to work in a utf8-ized environment. Those patches are not part of the original MC code. Anyway, my guess is that Eterm is not UTF-8 capable. I'd suggest you to set the LANG environment so that UTF-8 encoding won't be used by MC. For example: "export LANG=C" or "export it_IT.ISO8859-1" or "export it_IT" _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
