Oops, that should have been "C-x RET k hebrew-iso-8bit RET".
Sorry.

entring 8 bit characters

[Hary]

I have insralled Red-Hat 7.3 and using the GNU emacs that is installed with
it.
I am trying to write hebrew characters in emacs and I get the character
masked to 7 bits.
how do I tell emacs not to mask the entered character?
I am using emacs through telnet and I am sure my telnet client is not doing
the masking since in VI or in the shell, I can insert hebrew characters.
(Hebrew characters start from 224 or 0xE0)

Thank you, it worked.
Now, how do I save it so it will be the default?

This code (in .emacs) does it for me (Yes, I realy use Hebrew):

    ;; First - drop the default file-coding-system(s)
    (let ((defcs (assoc "" file-coding-system-alist)))
        (while defcs
            (setq file-coding-system-alist (delq defcs file-coding-system-alist))
            (setq defcs (assoc "" file-coding-system-alist))))

    ;; Second - set desired default
    (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("" hebrew-iso-8bit) t)
    (set-language-environment 'Hebrew)  ;; Hebrew (UNIX eol style)
    (set-language-environment-coding-systems 'Hebrew 'unix)

Ehud.

Add this to your .emacs:

(set-keyboard-coding-system 'hebrew-iso-8bit)

Way cool.  How does bidi work?  Are you using a special version of
Emacs for that?
