Thanks, I've upgraded the Emacs but unfortunately this new one is not quite 
as good as the one I removed. In fact the problems with the Japanese were 
solved by adding some things to .emacs:

(prefer-coding-system 'shift_jis)
(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'shift_jis)
(setq file-name-coding-system 'shift_jis)

(set-default-coding-systems 'shift_jis)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'shift_jis)

(set-keyboard-coding-system 'shift_jis)
(set-language-environment 'Japanese)

Now it works, although I'm not sure which bits are necessary and which 
aren't.
