Hello, Steve, Polytropon

Indeed I can keep LANG variable other than French. 
Now it's working exactly as I want it to work.
Thank you very much again for insights.

        You should be able to set any UTF-8 locale for lang, mine is
en_IE.UTF-8 and I can type accented characters fine using the us.acc map.
