Run the ksh for that user. Include it in the /etc/passwd file.
user1:dg1o02qNxSafU:124:20::/home/user1:/usr/bin/ksh

(NOTE: if the user is root, you have to call ksh in its .profile file and not in /etc/passwd)

In /etc/profile enable the system to use 8 bits for the terminal emulation:
stty -parenb cs8 -istrip

and set the language accordingly:
export LANG=fr_FR.iso88591

Hope this helps.
Regards,

Hi,

just insert in .profile under user's home directory

export LANG=fr_FR.iso88591

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
