Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted. I wander though why the documentation
suggests the use of list-coding-systems which does not exist.

Thanks, but how do I execute coding-system-list? if I do M-x
coding-system-list it does not work!
Apparantly it's not interactive. You could execute it in a scratch buffer,
but I suggest you research further.
How about C-x b (describe bindings)
Searching the buffer for "coding-system" gives me:
C-x C-m F set-default-buffer-file-coding-system
C-x C-m c universal-coding-system-argument
C-x C-m f set-buffer-file-coding-system
C-x C-m p set-buffer-process-coding-system
C-x C-m t set-terminal-coding-system
Type C-x C-m F and you will be prompted for a default coding system.
Hit the space bar and you'll get a completions buffer.
Is that what you want?
