Hello,
In comp.os.linux.misc you write:

What do you mean "get lost" ? The tcsh shell uses characters > 127 as
meta characters for functions, equivalent to typing ESC + (character
of same code - 128) so you can't use accented characters in command
names or file names (not a good idea anyway). But you should be able
to use them from a terminal-mode editor started from tcsh. Can you ?
