I don't understand "C" settings, but William Yu asked me to look in "locale" and every line in it seems to end in en_US except one line that says "LC_ALL=" I'm reasonably certain that the RB shell is sending arguments in UTF-8 and the system is looking for something else. Arguments sent in WindowsAnsi or ISOLatin1 both work correctly with Spanish accented characters on my Mepis Linux system. So far, the only, clumsy, workaround I have found is to write the commands to a file on the drive in ISOLatin1, set it to be executable and give it a name with no non-asciis, and the call it from the shell.
