Viewing French accented characters using more

     Good morning alpha osf managers,
     
     We are currently in the process of setting up our first alpha osf
     version 3.2a server and I came accross an annoying problem when trying
     to view French accented characters with more.
     
     I create a file using vi in which I include some Canadian French
     accented characters. In vi the accented characters are all fine.
     When I cat the file the accents are also fine. But when I try to more
     the file the accented characters come out as a couple of garbage
     characters.
     
     By the way, I ftp the file to a SUN workstation and on an HP-UX and
     the more available on those boxes display the characters properly.
     
     Does anyone know of a fix? Is this a bug in osf? My experience with
     UNIX is still quite limited, so any clue will be appreciated.
     
     Thank you
