<BR>Hi Harold:<BR>
<BR>
SET TERM/VT220 or higher.<BR>
<BR>
Can you see the French characters using<BR>
RDB's SQL tool?<BR>
<BR>
If you can good! If not it is not PowerHouse.<BR>
<BR>
I am assuming that the character set in <BR>
database is DEC supplemental. Which is very<BR>
much like Windows 1252 except that <BR>
characters whose decimal eqivalents are<BR>
in the range 128-160 may not avaliable.<BR>
In some cases they are considered control<BR>
characters in the DEC world.<BR>
<BR>
The charcacter that people seem to miss<BR>
the most is the euro at decimal 128 ( € ).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The first thing you want to <BR>
to do is set the character set to ASCII8 French<BR>
in the dictionary.<BR>
<BR>
If the database character set is<BR>
not DEC supplemental nor WINDOWS 1252<BR>
then you will want to replace the character<BR>
set and downshift and upshift tables in the <BR>
dictornary.<BR>
<BR>
Then try a simple screen.<BR>
<BR>
ALT key 0233 is é.<BR>
