How do I edit a file in ISO-2022-JP encoding, when my mlterm is set to 
eucJP encoding?

I would like to edit a file in ISO-2022-JP encoding as well, not only 
read. Is this possible? I don't want to write a eucJP encoded text and 
to convert it afterwards to ISO-2022-JP manually using iconv. This 
would be no solution fo me.

Thanks,
