Save the following script as /usr/local/bin/nedit:

  #!/bin/bash
  LANG=${LANG%.UTF-8} exec /usr/bin/nedit ${1+"$@"}

And make it executable (chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/nedit).

BTW, I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain the '${1+"$@"}'
brace expansion.  It's the only way I've found to handle multiple
parameters, some of which contain spaces, but I'd love to know *why* it
works.
