Those of us that don't speak English as our native language knows how anoyi=
ng
it is to not be able to write our own special characters when typing on=20
our computer. For you who don't know, there is a characterset, an=20
extension to ASCII, named ISO-8859-1. This characterset specifies values=20
for characters as o with umlauts (=F6), a with umlauts (=E4) or a with ring=
s=20
(=E5) in adition to the pure ASCII-set (values 128-255 are used).

On most UNIX'es it is possible to enable this charset by typing
stty -istrip cs8
setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1
setenv LESSCHARSET latin1

But aparantly not on NetBSD (1.0)... :-(

Ideas anyone?
