Whew! Within a couple of minutes I got the answer, thanks
to Udo Grabowski.

All I needed to do was to reboot and at the console prompt
type

set language 0

and all was peachy.

Incidentally, I found the solution for my low-resolution display
problem in the archives.

Basically,
edit /etc/dt/config/Xservers
(if it does not yet exist,
cp /var/dt/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
if /etc/dt/config does not yet exist, mkdir it first)

and change the line
:0 Local local_at_console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

to

:0 Local local_at_console /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -screen0 1600x1200

The 1600x1200 resolution works since I have a gargantuan 21" monitor :-)

Thanks again!
Gershom
