Character set problem

Hi,

I'm trying to edit a file with vi, but all special characters (áéíóú etc) don't seem to show correctly. They don't seem to be supported by the OS (SunOS 5.10).

I'm using MobaXterm as the terminal emulator, which is configured to use ISO-8859-1. The same charset is used on Solaris.

If I open a local shell, I am able to use these characters.

Can anyone tell me why this is, and how I can get it to work?

Thanks

NAME
Encode::Byte - Single Byte Encodings SYNOPSIS
use Encode qw/encode decode/; $greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8); # loads Encode::Byte implicitly $utf8 = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto ABSTRACT
This module implements various single byte encodings. For most cases it uses x80-xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII characters. Encodings supported are as follows.
