For over two years, I took LC_* for granted. Never touched it, never
looked at it (snobbery of being en_US I suppose!). Now, with the 2006.1
profile, I am forced to learn an essential part of Linux. So now, I am set
with en_US and ISO8895-15 although I still don't know where the 02locale
file should have been set from. I manually created it.

Interestingly, there are some problems with the line drawing characters.
In particular
1) the vertical lines don't meet the horizontal ones to make a T or
inverted T. They just stop short and the character for joining the two is
not drawn
2) At the right, just before the corner, there is a v>
3) At the right vertical line, where the horizontal should meet line --|
there is a gap and the vertical is interrupted and the character to make
that join is not drawn.

However, all this is much better than before, and I don't do that much
with mc in a terminal anyway. As I noted, it's fine under any X.

Thanks again for your help.
