Oh, yes, these work! Thank you! There isn't much difference compared  
to using Apple's ls; in GNU Emacs 22.0.50 UTF-8 characters are still  
displayed as a series of UTF-8 octets, and in GNU Emacs 23.0.0 I  
still cannot search for file names with German umlauts etc.

Hopefully others have more success!
