Tage missed to spell out the main obstackle with national characters...
It's not only a matter that we can't write "rdksmvrges", shrimp sandwich
that is... But more serious is that we can't type in "|$" or even "{[]}"!
(That is pipe, dollar, curly and hard braces) So us international users
are quite grounded...
/chris@netman.se - unix without pipe is like "rdksmvrges" without shrimp!
