I've found a way to *display* the characters on the shell and in vi.  I'm just
having issues now with the 'dead' keys (two keystrokes for é and ñ etc...).

Anyhow -- to display the buggers, stick this in rc.local:

font8x16="iso-8x16.fnt"
font8x14="iso-8x14.fnt"
font8x8 ="iso-8x8.fnt"

And in ~/.tcshrc:

setenv  LESSCHARSET latin1
setenv  LC_CTYPE da_DK.ISO_8859-1
setenv  MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1

...might want to replace the 'da_DK' bit with another thing, but this works
:-PPP

Any hints on how to get the dead keys working?
