   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}.  After
-creating the coding system for the codepage, you can use it as any
-other coding system.  For example, to visit a file encoded in codepage
-850, type @kbd{C-x @key{RET} c cp850 @key{RET} C-x C-f @var{filename}
-@key{RET}}.

+@code{cp@var{nnnn}}, where @var{nnnn} is a 3- or 4-digit number of the
+codepage.  You can use these encodings just like any other coding
