Use coding system @var{coding} for transferring selections to and from
other programs through the window system.

Use coding system @var{coding} for transferring @emph{one}
selection---the next one---to or from the window system.

@vindex file-name-coding-system
@cindex file names with non-@acronym{ASCII} characters
  The variable @code{file-name-coding-system} specifies a coding system
to use for encoding file names.  If you set the variable to a coding
system name (as a Lisp symbol or a string), Emacs encodes file names
using that coding system for all file operations.  This makes it
possible to use non-@acronym{ASCII} characters in file names---or, at least, those
non-@acronym{ASCII} characters which the specified coding system can encode.

  If @code{file-name-coding-system} is @code{nil}, Emacs uses a default
coding system determined by the selected language environment.  In the
default language environment, any non-@acronym{ASCII} characters in file names are
not encoded specially; they appear in the file system using the internal

Use coding system @var{coding} for transferring selections to and from

@item C-x @key{RET} F @var{coding} @key{RET}
Use coding system @var{coding} for encoding and decoding file
@emph{names}.  This affects the use of non-ASCII characters in file
names.  It has no effect on reading and writing the @emph{contents} of
files.

  The variable @code{file-name-coding-system} specifies a coding
system to use for encoding file names.  If you set the variable to a
coding system name (as a Lisp symbol or a string), Emacs encodes file
names using that coding system for all file operations.  This makes it
possible to use non-@acronym{ASCII} characters in file names---or, at
least, those non-@acronym{ASCII} characters which the specified coding
system can encode.  Use @kbd{C-x @key{RET} F}
(@code{set-file-name-coding-system}) to specify this interactively.
