RI is Reverse Index, and is located in the 128-160 range (don't remember exactly where right now, but a good guess is 141... :-) You're obviously running with 8 bits here, while Unix has a small preference for 7 bits.

Cause if I try > that and switch on the PDP it only prints a lot of ????????????. You should have seven bits yes, but you also must have parity! 7,S,1 os something should do it. Try others if the first don't work. > My terminal emulation is VT100. Not very good, I'd say. A VT100 don't grasp Latin-1.
