Hi

I'm from Sweden and we have three more letters in our alphabet than you 
english-speaking people. When I use X there is no problem with that, but when 
I use VI in textmode it gives problems, I don't get the right ascii-signs. 
When I was using linux slackware (I still have a slackware partition) I 
solved the problem with a file called .inputrc in the homedirectory 
containing this:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on

This is of course not a problem when using free bsd because it doesn't 
understand my language anyway, but I want to write swedish texts in VI in 
textmode.
