Hi, The problem is caused by the Unicode support introduced in RH8.0. If you look in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, you'll probably find a statement like: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" You can copy the file to your home directory as .i18n, note the leading dot. You can then edit the line to read: LANG="en_US" If you want the original Unix sorting rules found in RH before 7X, say: LANG="C" HTH. -- Bill in Denver On Sun, 4 May 2003, Thomas D.
