How do I set the inputencoding?

How do I set the inputencoding?

[Konrad Holzbauer]

Hello,

I am new to ConTeXt, and I would like to know if there is a possibility to 
easily declare the documents encoding like \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} in 
LaTeX. I found a lot of information in the manuals, but not how to easily 
produce our german umlauts. \"A and \~o \cc so on works, but simply typing Ä 
or õ or ç like in LaTeX would be fine.

I typeset a lot in German and Portugese, so direct support of these 
characters would be _very_ handy. Presumably it is already built in, only I 
have not found it.

Konrad

there are encoding s(set by font macros) and regimes (set by \useregime);
latin 1 is not yet completely defined, but denis promissed me to provide it, 

concerning german, i think that there are enough germans on this list to
advice you what to use best [probably ec encoding]
