Problem solved.  I went into /usr/lib/X11 and created two directories,
one called "C" and the other called C_C.C.  I placed in each directory
the file Codeset.  I tried this because I was looking at a SCO box and
saw these directories but noticed they were not on my Linux box.  I
believe the SCO box is using Version 5 of X11 and that this is where the
problem arose.

Thanks for your input Steve...
