OK; tried that. Both macroman and utf-8 give me the same results, which

Hi --
I'm having a problem using cut and paste to put text from a VIM
document, into a terminal window. It's some sort of character
encoding issue. Here's what I do:
o Start up gvim with no file. I'm using 6.2.
o Type a few characters.
o Copy some material (Apple-C)
o Move to a terminal window
o Paste it (Apple-V)
o Material is pasted, but the encoding is incorrect.
If I cut the phrase 'ABCabc', then what gets pasted is this:
'\344\205\202\344\215\241\346\211\243'
If I paste it into a non-terminal window such as Mail or Textedit, I
get Chinese characters.
Copying *from* Textedit to terminal works fine, so I think the
problem is something to do with vim.
Can someone point me to what I might have set that's doing this?
Thanks,
-Henry
What happens if you set 'encoding' to "macroman" (the legacy Mac
encoding) prior to yanking? If it doesn't work, try UTF-8.
Best regards,

Meader's Law:
Whatever happens to you, it will previously have happened to
everyone you know, only more so.
Analysis of the octal values you list seems to indicate that your clipboard is
getting Latin1, mistaking it for ucs-2be, and translating it to UTF-8: for
instance, \344\205\202 is the UTF-8 bytecode for the U+4142 codepoint.
I think this /might/ be a fixed bug, check the following bug summaries:
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/README (patches for Vim 6.2 and earlier)
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/6.3/README
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/6.4/README
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/README
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.1/README
Or else, boldly install 7.1.002 and see if the problem persists.
Best regards,
Tony.
