I'm not sure if that should work. Probably it should, in a recent
enough XEmacs, but 21.5.29 is apparently too old. See below.

You mean on the code which follows
(make-coding-system
'cp1255 'fixed-width "Microsoft Code Page 1255 (Hebrew)"
??
Yes, that's correct. Works for me (ie, the coding system is defined;
I don't know if it actually works on Hebrew yet, I'll try tomorrow).
I did that and I obtain an error
That's bad news for you; it means that 21.5.29 is too old to support
the modern way of defining simple coding systems like ISO 8859 and
Microsoft code pages. You'll need a more recent build of XEmacs.
In 21.5.29, you could try
M-: (define-coding-system-alias 'cp1255 'iso-8859-8) RET
which will allow you to read the Hebrew (I think), but will not be
able to decode the extra punctuation characters that CP1255 supports.
