I use latex and xemacs like editor. On my previous installation, xemacs recognizes automatiquely the tex file (yet latex appears in the tools bar) and for example Control CC automatiquelly compile. I don't know how to configur xemacs to obtain this result. May i install emacs also? is any anybody can send me his .xemacs ? thank you Hervé -- Avec l'accent de RMS dire "laineuxe" Linux: there's an other way for software
