Ok, I have to understand a thing (as you might have guessed I am still
using 11.53), how is auctex supposed to be loaded:
- It is automatically loaded nothing has to be done auctex
replaces the standard Latex mode. This is what you say below right.
- If so what would cause (require 'tex-site) in the init file?
> What are the _contents_ of this file?
Ok my fault.

Ok the el file is basically empty the elc file not:
auto-loads.elc

It seems reasonable to me, that is as I understand I should NOT include the tex-site file? What happens to people who upgrade from 11.53 to 11.84 and have their (require 'tex-site) in their init file. Do they get a warning? To summarise. It seems that I should exclude tex-site? Uwe
