International Characters (üöäß)

International Characters (üöäß)

[Olaf Pokorny]

Hi,

I´ve installed the current version of emacs on my german Suse Linux 9.
I am using emacs only in my shell but I can´t write characters like 
'üöäß'. When I am opening a existing file where the characters are 
already in, emacs is showing them but I can´t write them for myself.
When I am saving the file, the already existing ones are replaced by
a '?'. How can I change emacs to use that characters (isolatin1?).

Regards,
O.P.

Is that on X or character-mode terminal, like the console or xteram?

Also, how do you type Latin-1 characters? what keys do you press?

Finally, what does Emacs say if you type "M-x emacs-version RET"?
