how can I view the accented characters correctly, please?
By setting the right encoding for the text in the buffer! The ISO Latin encodings are fine, some MS Losedos code pages (125[02]) also have LATIN SMALL LETTER [EO] WITH ACUTE on code points octal \351 resp. \363.
The mode-line of a recent GNU Emacs shows the encoding used in the buffer, the Options menu has a Mule entry which lets you choose another coding system by reverting this file now (C-x RET r).
Setting environment variables like LANG or LC_CTYPE to a reasonable value can enable GNU Emacs to use this reasonable value to present you a text file's contents. You can also try to set
(prefer-coding-system 'iso-8859-15) in your init file. -- Greetings Pete Bake pizza not war!
