 NB> Hello David,

 NB> On Thu, Nov 28 2024 16:44:56 -0600, you wrote ..

 NB> This command is wrong.

 >> sbbs@bbs:~$ LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-1 luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' gedlnx

 NB> This one is closer, though you need to actually specify the config

SBBS is not there, as per the path /home/sbbs is $HOME for sbbs user, SBBS
lives under /sbbs

 NB> LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-1 luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' gedlnx -C/path/to/
 NB> golded.conf

 NB> This probably won't work, though, see below.

 NB> If you don't know where your golded config files is, you have even

Weird thing and I guess it's Ubuntu's fault here, hwy does it report the
package intsalled and then report no such command

 NB> So with that said, forget about luit and change your command line to
 NB> this:

 NB> LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-2 gedlnx -C/path/to/golded.conf

 NB> See how that works for you.

This one worked, like gedlnx by itself with no other viriables or
declarations, but I still get wrong key mappings
