Halloechen!

Just deleted my GNU Emacs 20 and installed
GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

I'm a console terminal user.  I mostly use it
in the XTerm ("Konsole 1.0.1 (KDE 2.1.2)"), but also in the
ordinary text mode terminal.

Two major problems:

1. My terminals use latin-9 (German environment).  My
   .emacs contains

(codepage-setup "850")
(prefer-coding-system 'cp850-dos)
(prefer-coding-system 'iso-latin-1)
; (set-language-environment "Latin-9")
 
(if (eq window-system nil) (set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1))
(if (eq window-system nil) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'latin-1))

   But when I change this to "latin-9" all characters
   (even thost that are common in latin-1 and -9)
   turn into "?".  What am I doing wrong?

2. In the xterm, my keyboard layout must be latin-1
   apparently.  On the tty console this is wrong and
   should be cp850 instead.  How can I create
   .emacs code that can handle both?

Thank you!

Tschoe,
Torsten.
