As you say, it's bbackupquery that gives me problems. Discovered when I 
wanted to restore a file in a directory with an 'ِ' in its name. Solved 
as you hint by using the command line of bbackupquery. *phew* :-)

The error is obvious; hitting a 'ِ' for instance the terminal gives a 
bell and does not print it.

I got it working with readline, so I'm convinced there is nothing wrong 
with boxbackup, but with the libedit that is included in the above 
mentioned binaries. Any users of the binaries that got it working?

My locale is 'sv_SE.UTF-8'
