I have no idea. It looks correct. But output looks like ncurses uses incorrect locale.

Remind me. Do you have XLAT conversion table from cp437 to cp850?

Looks like incorrect locale to me again.

No, I mean that i saw you using en_*EN*.cp850, not en_*US*.cp850. That is important.

This is not correct

WvV> LC_TIME="POSIX"
WvV> LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
WvV> LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
WvV> LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"

These guys too.

Make sure that all LC_-s are en_US.cp850. Especially LC_CTYPE.
