(standard-display-european):
For an interactive call by the user,
don't set enable-multibyte-characters,
and don't set the terminal coding system.

-This function is semi-obsolete; you can use `set-language-environment'
-coupled with either the `--unibyte' option, the EMACS_UNIBYTE
-environment variable or customizing `enable-multibyte-characters' if
-you prefer to use unibyte characters.
+This function is semi-obsolete; if you want to do your editing with
+unibyte characters, it is better to `set-language-environment' coupled
+with either the `--unibyte' option or the EMACS_UNIBYTE environment
+variable, or else customize `enable-multibyte-characters'.
+
+With prefix argument, this command enables European character display
+if arg is positive, disables it otherwise.  Otherwise, it toggles
+European character display.
 
-When enabled, characters in the range of 160 to 255 display not
-as octal escapes, but as accented characters.  Codes 146 and 160
-display as apostrophe and space, even though they are not the ASCII
-codes for apostrophe and space.
+When this mode is enabled, characters in the range of 160 to 255
+display not as octal escapes, but as accented characters.  Codes 146
+and 160 display as apostrophe and space, even though they are not the
+ASCII codes for apostrophe and space.
 
-With prefix argument, enable European character display iff arg is positive.

-Normally, this function turns off `enable-multibyte-characters' for
-existing and subsequently created Emacs buffers.  This is because
-users who call this function probably want to edit European characters
-in single-byte mode."
+Enabling European character display with this command noninteractively
+from Lisp code also selects Latin-1 as the language environment, and
+selects unibyte mode for all Emacs buffers \(both existing buffers and
+those created subsequently).  This provides increased compatibility
+for users who call this function in `.emacs'."
