The same I do, but if I work on a few files simultaneously, or just want
to jump into a new file (to check something or so) the current behavior
is a bit inconvenient.

Wow, thanks! I'll try it (but not today;))!

Thanks! I'll have it added together with .aux;).

Well, in case of LaTeX-mode, it's very useful, since it knows about the
usage of many standard commands and asks for the arguments.

I know, but I edit mostly rather simple files (no figures, no non-type1
fonts, no rotation etc...) and then uses xdvi a lot (when using LaTeX).

Thanks, greets!
PS. I visited your homepage. Loved the M$ jokes; the essay on viruses
