Emacs22: set the input method to latin-1-prefix

[Ulrich Scholz]

Dear all,

C-\ sets the input method to latin-1-prefix.  Now I want the initial
input method (right after starting Emacs) to be latin-1-prefix.  Can
I
do that by customization?

[So - as I understand it - I don't want to change the setting of
default-input-method.  Rather I want it to be used right from the
start.  Am I right?]

I tried to place (toggle-input-method) in my .emacs but to no effect.

Thanks, Ulrich
