Problems with terminal

[Marcio Rosa da Silva <marcio@exatas.unisinos.br>]

Hi!

I'm having some problems with the terminal in some softwares. The problems
are:

* The backspace doesn't work in some programs like micq and pydb (python
debugger). Others like pine and the xterm/rxvt/etc... works well. The
problem is that the former prints ^H and I have to use DEL instead.

* I live in Brazil and I need accented characters. The accents work in all
programs I tried but mutt. In mutt accents are replaced by a '?' char This
happens in the viewer (pager). To write mails I use vi and the accents
work well there too.

How can I fix this problems?

Thanks!
