greek + emacs

[Andreas Daskalopoulos]

Dear all,

I am using GNU Emacs 20.7.2. I am trying to write Greek using mule. Altough 
I can write Greek in most applications at X-Windows (by installing the 
appropriate locales) I still can't write Greek in Emacs.

I tried setting the input method and the language enviroment to Greek, but i 
get weird characters through the mule drop-down menu.I am using a Greek 
keyboard (if this is of any help. My distribution is Libranet 2.7 (it is a 
debian-based distribution, in other words its an easy to install debian 
stable).

Thanks a lot for reading this node.

20.7 is stone-age.  Try 21.3.  MULE has significantly changed since
then.
