    This setting is suboptimal on a Latin-1 or Latin-9 terminal.
Assuming Philippe uses Latin-9, would be better:

| set charset="iso-8859-15//TRANSLIT"

    That will show straight all Latin-9 chars, additionally approximate
chars outside Latin-9, and eventually use Latin-9 char(s) for those
approximations. And it permits to properly send accented letters.


Bye!    Alain.
