Hi all I'm having difficulties with GNU Screen and the pound sterling sign. If I enter the sterling sign at a bash prompt then it works fine. If I run Screen and then enter one then I get the wrong character--I don't know how to describe the weird character that I get. I have tried to set my locale this way: export LC_ALL="en_GB.utf-8" What am I doing wrong? Is there something I should be setting in my screen conf file? Many thanks Richard

Try starting screen with -U - if that works, then all should be well there after :) -- Brett Parker

Thanks Brett for your suggestion, although that didn't solve it. I actually eventually realised that the problem was that the encoding wasn't set properly on my local SSH client. Sorry to have wasted everyone's time. Richard
