echo "\\0315" problem !!

[freggel]

At my work they use a script on openserver 5.0.
This script contains this line:

echo "\\0315\\0315\\0315 etc etc etc

when executed it prints the following on the screen

=====================

But when i try to do this at home (i also use openserver 5.0)

it don't get the ===== but IIIIIIIII

Why does the same script prints different output on my screen??
Do i use the wrong international-set? or wrong ascii-set??


tnx Frank

Exactly, you are using a different character set.

If you are on the console then check out
/etc/default/mapchan

Otherwise check you terminal emulation pkg.

If you are using a VT220 compatible terminal (many of them) consider using VT line drawing character set instead perhaps:

[tt]echo `tput smacs`qqqqqq`tput rmacs`[/tt]

Use as many 'q's as you need. On 'scoansi' terminals use 'D's instead. Annihilannic.
