In this case the real problem is that he's using screen. Our driver for screen 
assumes latin1. I've yet to look into making it handle more character sets, 
although I think I already know how to do it. Unfortunately, I messed up one of 
my legs real bad (major infection from serious burn) a few weeks ago and have 
had to do a lot of resting.
