I started to use xemacs for my latex work because emacs and auctex (at
least on slink) has some sort of bug which causes the ``quotation'' marks
not to work correctly as soon as you work on a file which already exists.
On a tty screen I still use emacs20 because xemacs's behaviour involving
the backspace and delete keys is giving me problems in that environment.
I would prefer to use emacs all the time if it was not for the auctex
problem I am experiencing.
