  A special class of coding systems, collectively known as
@dfn{codepages}, is designed to support text encoded by MS-Windows and
MS-DOS software.  To use any of these systems, you need to create it
with @kbd{M-x codepage-setup}.  @xref{MS-DOS and MULE}.

@cindex end-of-line conversion
  In addition to converting various representations of non-ASCII
characters, a coding system can perform end-of-line conversion.  Emacs
handles three different conventions for how to separate lines in a file:
newline, carriage-return linefeed, and just carriage-return.

@cindex European character sets
@cindex accented characters
@cindex ISO Latin character sets
@cindex Unibyte operation
@vindex enable-multibyte-characters
  The ISO 8859 Latin-@var{n} character sets define character codes in
the range 160 to 255 to handle the accented letters and punctuation
needed by various European languages (and some non-European ones).
If you disable multibyte
characters, Emacs can still handle @emph{one} of these character codes

characters:

@itemize @bullet
@cindex 8-bit input
@item
@findex set-keyboard-coding-system
@vindex keyboard-coding-system
If your keyboard can generate character codes 128 and up, representing
non-ASCII you can type those character codes directly.

On a windowing terminal, you should not need to do anything special to
use these keys; they should simply work.  On a text-only terminal, you
