excellent guide for setting up emacs keybindings (including the delete

I have set C-x RET t iso-latin-1 and C-x RET t iso-8859-1 (I've tried -9, too),
and Gnus (5.7/Emacs 20.7) still doesn't understand characters --- while Pine's
newsreader (whose coding system is set to iso-8859-1 also) correctly displays
accents, umlauts, etc. correctly, Gnus display's Kai's last name as
"Gro\337johann" or "=?iso-8859-1?q?G".  All this in the same terminal emulator,
PuTTY.

What settings/shell-variables do I need to fix this?

hi,

  Is there a way to map the C-x C-c to close all opened files and frame but
not exiting emacs.
  Thank!
