Thanks. 
I downloaded the CVS version of Amaya, but unfortunately was not able to build 
the executable.
However, I substitued the CVS file where gtk_set_locale() appears for the 
corresponding file in Amaya 86 src distribution. The executable was 
succesfully built, I was able to enter portuguese characters in the URL bar 
and in the Title dialogue, and in almost every dialogue where chars could be 
entered. 
But wait: in the main Window, source window structure window, etc. all 
portuguese characters were substituted by "odd" chars! Even the cedilla (ç) 
char did not work anymore.
I really do not understand this difference of behaviour! Some years ago the 
same difference happened in previous versions of Amaya.

Well, I hink I will wait and hope that the next Amaya version has this bug 
closed for good!

José
