Yes.

When I hold the <alt> key and type "241" on the numeric keypad, the "ñ"
appears correctly on the screen. My program does (insert pr-line), where
pr-line is a string containing the ñ - this puts \361 up.

I've tried M-x set-language-environment <CR> latin-1. The mode line of
my *scratch* looks like this:
-111:**--F1 *scratch* All L10 C184 (Lisp Interaction)----P678/678
