Opening CP850 encoded (DOS) files

I'm having trouble opening CP850 encoded (DOS) files...
This encoding is described in the jEdit user manual, so it should work, but no luck yet for me.
Manual: On Windows, various other encodings, referred to as code pages and identified by number, are used to store non-English text. The corresponding Java encoding name is windows- followed by the code page number, for example windows-850.
So I select Other in the encoding menu and enter windows-850, cp850, Cp850 or CP850, but whatever I try, I get an IO error: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Cp850.
Anything else I can try?
