Are you saying you want standard behavior or do you want something different such as dictionary sort order. unset LANG export LANG=POSIX export LC_ALL=POSIX If you want standard then you have to have a standard environment. If you want dictionary sorting order then set LANG=en_US and have a non-standard but dictionary sort order. It is your environment and you get to choose how you want to customize it. Bob
