Re: Change encoding?

[John Darrington]

Which operating system are you using?  Setting environment variables
is operating system dependent.     The command I gave you should work
for nearly all GNU/Linux systems.   If you're using a different OS, 
then you need to read the instructions for that (or ask someone who
knows).

     Thanks for prompt help, John.
     
     I am using Gui version (psppire) where can I type the export command you
     mention. Or is that possible only in command line version?
     
     It would be great to be able to make this change permanently since I am
     going to be working only with files in one particular (non-english)
     encoding. Is there a way to do this?
     
     thanks for any tips
