[Gllug] codepage madness

[SteveC]

Ok I can type the £ symbol in nedit.

xterm has every character double spaced and typing '£' gives a # and a 
return to next line. So do all the other terminals. this seems not to be a 
font issue since if I set the terms to use the nedit font they still give 
the same results.

help!
