If I type the document locally and upload it via Kermit, it sort of works.
Unfortunately it doesn't keep the ligatures which makes it more or less useless for
Arabic :)
It would work for Hebrew though

Yeah I was thinking of typing up some Arabic documents in say EDIT and using TYPE to view
them - but Terminal.app doesn't seem to pass the Arabic letters across correctly.

Is it possible to use say Arabic or Hebrew script on VMS - I don't mean for DCL of

Or does this require DECWindows?
What do you mean? Just displaying text, or are you looking for some software that actually
would understand any of it.
I mean, you could just use a different character encoding, and just output the bytes you
want, and have your terminal show anything.
