I just can't stop it...

I guess the default encoding of Emacs is ISO-Latin-1, at least that's 
what I want to use anyway.

How can I input accented characters / German Umlauts, etc.?

Actually I think the problem is not the input, but the font: how do I 
change my
(set-face-font 'default "-apple-Bitstream Vera Sans 
Mono-regular-r-normal--13-140-75-75-m-120-mac-roman")
to use ISO-Latin-1 encoding instead of mac-roman?  The documentation 
didn't really help me there... (and my tries were worthless)

Sorry if this breaks the threading (and if it's a repeated posting...)

Using the  Emacs Input Method  (I prefer this  since I use Emacs  in 3
differnt OS) solves the problem.  You can choose between german prefix
where ß  is the result  of the sequence  " and s (prefix  version work
somethin  like iso-accents-mode,  so wovels  with umlauts  are entered
with the sequence " (wovel)) and german postfix where you get the same
result by hitting  s and then z. In this mode  wovels with umlauts are
entered typing what I think is  the "no umlaut version" of the word (I
don't speak German -blame on me- so I'm not sure...).

The commands  do come  from BSD  or GNU. But  the filesystem  not, and
those smarties did not adapt the commands to the filesystem.

So  if  you cp  a  file  you cp  just  the  data  losing the  extended
attributes.  mv  should behave  likewise too.  There  are a  couple of
utilities that fix this in the development stuff. I never used them as
I use my iMac  as a Unix box and I don't care  of the other file forks
(btw does someone know a free  utility to repartition the disk to make
place to an healy Debian GNU/Linux ?).
