Which operating system are you using? Setting environment variables is operating system dependent. The command I gave you should work for nearly all GNU/Linux systems. If you're using a different OS, then you need to read the instructions for that (or ask someone who knows).

Thanks for prompt help, John.
I am using Gui version (psppire) where can I type the export command you
mention. Or is that possible only in command line version?
It would be great to be able to make this change permanently since I am
going to be working only with files in one particular (non-english)
encoding. Is there a way to do this?
thanks for any tips
