I compiled tcsh for my NetBSD 0.9, as we swedes use a lot of strange characters
above 0x7f I compiled it with NLS and SHORT_STRINGS.

XFree86-2.0 is xmodmapped to support the swedish keyboard.

But it just beep when some swedish characters ( Aring etc. ) is typed,
using csh instead displays the correct character.

If a use tcsh to create a shellscript that reads from stdinput then 
it reads and echo the same thing I entered.

A tcsh compiled with NLS undefined seems to read and echo iso_8859_1 characters
from the command-row.

Is NLS & iso_8859_1 broken in NetBSD 0.9 or do I need to patch tcsh ?
