Where do you need to use d>Latin-1 characters, exactly, and what happens in Bash 2.03 when you d>try? It's quit simple: nothing happens when typing the umlaut keys. Nothing appears at the prompt. I.e. it's not possible to remove files with umlauts in its names. Any german Win95-'link' is automatically called 'Verkn"upfung mit program', so it's hard to avoid such filenames. d>> Everything worked fine with bash 1.14.7. d> d>Bash 1.14.7 had special multibyte extensions, but Daisuke Aoyama, who d>ported that version, never reported the necessary changes to the Bash d>maintainers... I'll have a look at the current SuSE-6.3 Linux distribution, especially the bash version. SuSE 6.3 is a german distribution, so it should work. -- Tschau, Soenke.
