Hello everybody,

Does anyone know how to set pine (3.96) so that I can view japanese
characters on a unix machine?
I have set the character-set to ISO-2022-JP in .pinerc, I am using kterm
and the LANG variable is set to 'japanese'. But still all the japanese
characters appear blank.

Thank for any help.

    There is more to displaying _any_ particular set of characters than
just setting something in Pine.  That is important, yes, but whatever
type of computer terminal you use which does the actual display has to
have the physical capability of showing the characters completely apart
from whatever settings are given to Pine.  I am not familiar with
'kterm' (I don't even know whether it is hardware or software), so I
cannot say specifically what your difficulty is.

    I am only remarking that several hardware and software settings may
have to come together at once for you to be able to see what you want. 
Sometimes you may be ahead to try to find someone locally who can help
you on the spot.  (I once tried to help someone 5000 km. away with a
complex problem, and it required many, many emails, whereas I suspect a
knowledgeable local person might have been able to resolve it in 15
minutes.)
