Hello,

I use NetBSD on a Atari Falcon with a german keyboard. If I want to use
special german characters at vi, I get only the hexcode, not the char.
The terminal is able to show this chars, e.g. 'cat file' with a file
containing this chars prints them correct.

How can I tell vi to print the char and not the hexcode? I found nothing
in the manual of vi.

Thomas
