Do you mean in text mode? I'm not much of an emacs wizard, so I don't
know how to do it globally, but to add that to text mode, you would add
it as a hook in .emacs, like this:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'iso-accents-mode)

I'm not too sure about this either, but those are all unicode
characters, right? Later emacsen have improved unicode support, so it
might be deprecated in favor of that.

Hope this helps, sorry I can't give you more certainty.
