G'day,

ISO-8859-1 uses byte values 0xC0 to 0xFF for European accented
characters (amongst otherss).

I have a binary file whose bytes have values 0xC0 to 0xFF.  Emacs is
presently displaying them as octal, i.e. \300\301\302\303 etc.  

How do I get emacs to display them as accented characters?

set-language-environment gives me some of the capability I want, but
not all because it isn't sticky.  Ideally setting a mode (or a
variable) in my .emacs would affect newly opened files and show the
accents.

Thanks,

David
