Vim accented characters in text based console

Hi,

I use Vim everyday, I could say at every hour :-) in X graphical mode.
$ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Aug 24 2009 20:12:41)
Included patches: 1-245

I tried to use Vim with no X, in text base mode, but there was one
problem with accented characters. I could not use them and the ones
that where inserted before in graphical mode were like strange
characters.
Example:
ã with X, is ~a in text mode
the same with é --> 'e

I checked LC_ALL and is defined to pt_PT in either situations.
What should I correct to be able to use Vim in text mode in my
Slackware 13 64 bits box?

Luis
