Hello,  
  
I still don't know for sure what the most elegant way is, 
to set "iso-latin-1" coding system for editing LaTeX-Files  
on mule-enabled (x)emacs in the auctex inviroment.   
I'm sure there is a way, beside the emacs-dev-version, 
David suggested ...  
  
But have three workarounds:  
1.)   
Change from "iso-latin-1" to utf8. To do that, you need the packet  
"latex-ucs" (it's part of the debian-distribution),  
than you can write:  
---------------------------------------  
  \usepackage{ucs}  
  \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}  
---------------------------------------  
origin: http://stephan.walter.name/LaTeX#latex-ucs  
  
2.)  
Don't install XEmacs with "mule"-support (that is what I did ;-) )  
  
3.)  
Or perhaps, put this in your "init.el":  
------------------------------  
(set-language-enviroment "Latin-1")  
------------------------------  
  
Or if you need Euro-Symbol:  
------------------------------  
(set-language-enviroment "Latin-9")  
------------------------------ 
 
(I have not checked the result.)  
  
And I'm sure you can set this value depend on the   
mode or dependend of the file extension, perhaps the  
following is good (I haven't checked it by myself):  
-----------------------------  
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook  
        (lambda()  
           (set-language-enviroment "Latin-9")  
        )  
)  
-----------------------------  
  
Kindest regards,  
  
Stefan  
 
 
P.S.: 
When I finished my work on my init.el for "XEmacs-tetex" 
I will publish it under:
