It seems that in early days of AUCTeX `TeX-arg-document' (T-a-d) didn't use `TeX-arg-input-file-search' and `LaTeX-arg-usepackage-read-packages-with-options' (L-a-u-r-p-w-o) didn't exist. Earlier AUCTeX used `TeX-arg-input-file-search' only in `TeX-arg-input-file' and I suppose that its doc string was written in those days. In general, .cls and .sty files aren't likely to be added nor removed during one emacs session. So my guessed scenario is: 1. The author of L-a-u-r-p-w-o, who also injected `TeX-arg-input-file-search' in T-a-d, thought that it's reasonable to use constant list of files for `TeX-global-input-files' and `LaTeX-global-class-files' once they've got non-nil. 2. So he just diverted `TeX-arg-input-file-search' in his code and didn't obey the phrase "asked every time" there, letting the phrase be true only for `TeX-arg-input-file'. > I've changed my solution accordingly. Any comments welcome. It now looks good to me. ;-) Regards, Ikumi Keita
