Ok. I understood. Don't waste your time with xemacs!

Ok my problem is, that I can not edit german tex-documents 
with the current xemacs, shiped with Debian (vers. Sarge).
XEmacs writes the buffer in the wrong coding-system into
the file.
Is it possible, that the "emacs/xemacs/auctex" is looking for
the argument of e.g. "inputenc":
\usepackage[coding-system]{inputenc}

and changes the file I/O coding-system in a propper way?

Ok, my problem seem's to be not auctex related, so if I want to
work with xemacs together with auctex (for what reason ever),
I have to my question to the xemacs-comunity.

But never the less, thank you for your advice, I learned from that,
that my code is wrong.

Best regards,
