Thanks for your quick responses, and please bear with me; I'm not familiar with where to look for information such as this. I googled with keywords "emacs 22 iso-accents-mode" but found no relevant information. I read the "emacs" entry of info on my emacs22 and found a statement that you can input European accented characters with "M-x iso-accents-mode" . Then, how can I know that iso-accents-mode is obsolete? > Yeah, and I urge you not to use it.

I don't care whether the functionality is provided by iso-accents-mode or by some other mechanism as long as it's simple to use. I just need the capability. > It's > quite possible that the same functionality is available in core Emacs > (or else the package won't be obsoleted). And, the alternative is . . . ? I looked into the NEWS file of emacs22, but I didn't find any mention to iso-accents-mode: $ egrep -i accents /usr/share/doc/emacs22-common/etc/NEWS $ I might have been looking at a wrong file. . . .
