Yes, that is one method. But with all this talk of systems being utf-8 compatible and such these days, I was expecting that applications are getting better at this. If Emacs is not UTF-8 complaint, I would like to know for sure so that I can accomodate other applications I use. On the other hand, if Emacs is expected to recognize UTF-8, then there ought to be a way to make it do so by default. All I want to know is which way is it? thanks for your explanations, ->HS
