Hi, To get characters with accents (under Emacs 20.7.2), I type C-x RET k iso-8859-1-unix (according to newsgroups archives, it should be iso-8859-15, but it doesn't appear on my completion list). I think I can add something in .emacs to make this automatically ? I've been said I should upgrade my Emacs, but that's difficult as I'm not an administrator on my machine. I already wrote (standard-display-european t) in .emacs but that isn't sufficient. -- «Ein Redner verrät oft schon zum voraus seine Absicht durch die Namen, die er den Sachen gibt.» (Schopenhauer)
