Doing chcp 1252 in the interactive shell running cmd.exe helps a little
bit. Swedish Ä is now shown as just that letter. However it is not
recognized on input. Something strange is happening on input, both after
and before chcp 1252. If I type
prompt> cd Ä (swedish letter A with two dots above) TAB
then this is completed to Ägaren/. After typing return I get
cd Ägaren/
The system can not find the path specified
Windows won't like the / at the end of the directory name (it expects \
instead). Is that what the problem is?
I can not see any difference after (setq process-coding-system-alist
(cons (cons "cmd\\.exe\\'" 'cp850) nil)).
I was guessing cp850, but that might be wrong for Swedish Windows. chcp
with no arguments should tell you what the default codepage is.
