Those who have this statement get nonsense, since set-language-environment takes a string as an argument. set-language-environment is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `mule-cmds.el'. It is bound to C-x RET l. (set-language-environment LANGUAGE-NAME) Set up multi-lingual environment for using LANGUAGE-NAME. This sets the coding system priority and the default input method and sometimes other things. LANGUAGE-NAME should be a string which is the name of a language environment. For example, "Latin-1" specifies the character set for the major languages of Western Europe. [back] -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
