+.IP "\fB\-cs\fP \fIcharset\fP"
+This option specifies the character set in which \fIpterm\fP should

+type or paste into \fIpterm\fP will be converted into this character

+Any character set name which is valid in a MIME header (and

+"ISO-8859-1", "windows-1252" or "UTF-8"). Also, any character
+encoding which is valid in an X logical font description should be
+valid ("ibm-cp437", for example).
