DESCRIPTION

	  LC_MESSAGES
	  LC_MONETARY
	  LC_NUMERIC

     The locale	argument is the	name of	the current locale of the
     indicated	category.  The value of	locale is implementation-
     defined.

     cessing the Get_Locale request:

	TT_DESKTOP_EINVAL
	      The locale argument is not valid on  the	handler's
	      host.
