There is what I have in Protocol line:
PROTOCOL        LINE=0 BAUD=9600 DATA=8 STOP=1 NONE DISABLE -STRIP
So, I believe it is fine.
Thank you very much I know what to do, but it is much more work that I
anticipated.

Irina,


the problem I think You have is that the file has characters like
char(233)  for e-acute  but Your terminal(emulator) or port strips
the leading bit making it the 7bit character  char(105)  = i  on the 
display.
( 105 = 233-128)
((  the 233=i  is for the iso-8859-1 we use  - french may be different
))

Thus  check Your PTERM settings by
 >PTERM DISPLAY

make sure it has  DATA=8 and  NONE  and  -STRIP on the protocol line.
( wich means 8bit characters,  no  check digit and dond' strip  bit 0 )
If  this doesn't help You'll have to


To verify what the characters aren't destroyed in the file.
In unix  use
od -cx <filename> |  more

in universe  ED  in up-arrow mode will show the decimal value of each
character > 127.

When You have identified the value of each character used
 use  CHAR(nnn) in Your program  when You build your
search pattern.
( You may find the iso encoding schemes on the web too ...
 if You can weed out what they used... )
