problems with mapserv in command line

[Frank Rittinger]

Hello list,

I'm calling mapserver in the command line with the QUERY_STRING
paramter.  Doing an itemnquery with Umlaut in the qstring in a regular
shell doesn't find anything, although the same command in Emacs finds
results.

System: SuSE 9.2, locale=de_DE at euro and encoding ISO-8859-15.
QUERY_STRING="map=dev.map&mode=itemnquery&qlayer=Orte&qitem=ortsname&qstring='Kückhoven'"

I guess there is some configuration issue of my environment.

Any hints?
