 The `set encoding` command selects a character encoding.  Valid values are
 `default`, which tells a terminal to use its default; `iso_8859_1` (known in
 the PostScript world as `ISO-Latin1`), which is used on many Unix workstations
 and with MS-Windows; `cp850`, for OS/2; and `cp437`, for MS-DOS.

 Syntax:
       set encoding {<value>}
       show encoding

 Note that encoding is not supported by all terminal drivers and that
 the device must be able to produce the desired non-standard characters.
