You could also try:

        (prefer-coding-system   'utf-8)

It's a global option. The best to set GNU Emacs' behaviour in this  
area is by environment variables like LANG or LC_CTYPE that name some  
UTF-8 based encoding. I don't know how this is handled in MS Losedos.

From the Options menu choose Mule and then "Set Coding Systems" from  
which "For Next Command" (C-x RET c) will allow you to set a  
particular encoding system for reading the file.
