No problem, Kai.  I realize now that

   (set-input-method "latin-1-prefix")

on my W2K box gives me

   activate-input-method: Can't activate input method `latin-1-prefix'

but it works fine on Solaris.

Perhaps there is something seriously wrong with my W2K
installation or Emacs build.  I'll have to look closer
into this, and see if a reinstall or rebuild (recompile)
will solve the problem.
