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?

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