Well at least for German it doesn't seem to have been universally wrong,
this is the gretlcli startup output:
<console>

"help" liefert einer Liste von Befehlen
Geben Sie "open dateiname" ein um einen Datensatz zu öffnen
?
</console>
Notice the correct o-Umlaut in "öffnen".
So I'm curious whether you found the underlying cause for Portuguese.
Ah, I was forgetting, the problem was a bit more specific: wrong
encoding when gretlcli was invoked in batch mode (e.g. "-b
input.inp"). That's what I hope may now be OK.
