Local Variable: coding - bug

Hi, I have a file in iso-8859-2 encoding. Its first line is: ;;; -*- coding: iso-8859-2 -*- When I open it in vanilla XEmacs (21.2.13 or 21.0.67), it does not recognize the encoding and loads it as if it was iso-8859-1. The same happens if I create file local variable 'coding' with value iso-8859-2 at the end of the file. The documentation (Recognize Coding) says that these methods should allow to specify file coding system. Is it a bug of documentation or of implementation ? I found some handling of the former syntax in function find-coding-system-magic-cookie, it seems to be used only for loading elisp files though. Petr
