I think either you are not running the standard version of Auctex, or
you did not understand my instructions. And I was so careful to get
them just right!

Here's what the Auctex manual says on the subject:

In TeX, literal double quotes `"like this"' are seldom used, instead
two single quotes are used ```like this'''.  To help you insert these
efficiently, AUCTeX allows you to continue to press `"' to insert two
single quotes.  To get a literal double quote, press `"' twice.


HTH,
