Mike,
Here in Europe we work with different kind of char set.
There is two levels of check you need to do.
You need to choose if you work with ANSI char set or OEM charset to store under UV - and never change !
At the client side,
Emulators works with fonts; fonts usually work on ANSI charset; except some; usually provided with emulators.
You can found reference there http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/cphome.mspx
SBClient can use the two settings; be carefull is you choose ANSI; some german characters are up to char(250)
In all case, SBClient makes convertion from ANSI > OEM and reverse.
To test it, with windows 2k and xp; you can install more than one language and easily switch from one to another with the "Language Toolbar"
At your OS level; check if it's ready to manage extended char set from/to UV (8bits) ; do you receive the ascii value you strike.
At Universe level, there is nothing to do to handle ext-charset; you can build a little basic to check what char() arrive into UV
ED BP ASCII
1 A = KEYIN();
IF SEQ(A)=10 THEN STOP
PRINT A,SEQ(A)'R%3',DTX(SEQ(A))'R%2'
GO 1
Under UV there is NLS settings where you can specify the charset of each "device" I/O (files, printers, tty,...) - not mandatory to work with ext-charset.
Be carefull with you printed jobs and printers settings ; if there is ext-charset in datas, you need to set the printer correctly !!
I hope this help.

Clearly the engine for this mail-list is re-interpreting the characters I am trying to send. This kind of epitomizes the problem I am having!

Has anyone any experience in setting up users in places where the language involves the use of extend characters such as i m a } > x h h 9 l?
I am currently using: Hostaccess terminal emulator or SB Client v4.5 HP-UX B.11.11 Universe 9.6.1.6 SB+ 3.4.0/7
Unix, Universe and SB+ is shared with other sites across Europe so we need some way of having a localized login/configuration for our people in the countries that use these extended character sets.
If anyone can offer any help I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike Farrant
