Did that. It works, thanks!

It took me a long time figure out how to use it, but finally this did the
trick:

	/set term_charset iso8859-15		(*duh*)

I tried everything else with /recode before that. It would be nice if
/help recode would say something like this:

   You may not need to set recode parameters to convert UTF-8 to
   ISO8859-15, if /set term_charset iso8859-15 works for you.
