[AUCTeX] reftex
This is not a request for help or explanation but a paean of praise for RefTeX. I just started to use it last night and can't believe how useful it is. How did I ever do without it? Thanks developers!! And for AUCTeX as well!!

The first of these works but the second simply creates cmd.exe window and
fails to run gsview on the postscript file.
Does it work if you use "start \"\" %s.ps"?
Yes and no.
Firstly noting appears to happen for quite some time. Then gsview does
start with the required file, but there is also a message from cmd.exe
saying that the file "myfile.ps" cannot be found. (While it is just being
displayed---isn't Windows simply a wonderful operating system?)
Why does the addition of \"\" make a difference? I understand it adds in
quotes.

[AUCTeX] Adding commands to Command menu
I have recently moved over from XEmacs to Emacs on a Windows XP.
I am using the prepared installation from Vincent Goulet available at
http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/ressources/emacs/
This uses Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) and AUCTeX 11.84.
It also includes the latest ESS and thus supplies pretty much all my
needs.
I had modified by previous XEmacs installation by adding some items to the
Command menu using:
(eval-after-load "tex"
'(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
'("ps2pdf" "ps2pdf12 %s.ps %s.pdf" TeX-run-command t t)
t))
(eval-after-load "tex"
'(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
'("gsview" "start %s.ps" TeX-run-shell t t) t))
The first of these works but the second simply creates cmd.exe window and
fails to run gsview on the postscript file.
I am having a similar problem when I try and use Print when I have a
postscript file or when I uses pdfTeX and then try and view the file: just
the cmd.exe window appears but the viewer doesn't fire up.
I would also like to be able to use gsview to view pdf files rather than
acrobat, but keep Acrobat Reader as my default viewer.
I tried
(eval-after-load "tex"
'(add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
'("gsviewpdf" "gsview32 %s.pdf" TeX-run-shell t t) t))
for this which gave me two problems: in the minibuffer I got
gsviewpdf command: gsview32 "myfile".pdf
which just gave an error. If I edited the command in the minibuffer to
gsview32 "myfile.pdf"
gsview fired up ok but I could no longer use Emacs.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

[AUCTeX] Recognition of .bib files
I am running XEmacs 21.4.19, with AUCTeX 1.47 and RefTeX 1.34 on Windows
XP.
I can't get XEmacs to recognise a .bib file. I have the following in my
init.el:
(setq reftex-file-extensions
'(("Snw" "Rnw" "nw" "tex" ".tex" ".ltx") ("bib" ".bib")))
(setq TeX-file-extensions
'("Snw" "Rnw" "nw" "tex" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "texinfo"))
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
This particular incantation works on the linux machine I also use, but not
on the Windows box.
Any suggestions?
David Scott

I can run dvipdfm with C-c C-c d TAB RET which is sort of ok, but if I want to do more than one menu command it gets a bit tedious. So it would be nice if I could have commands on the menu which would do more than one step at a time. Bear with me---I have never really weaned myself off vi.

INSTALL.windows tells 11. With XEmacs, AUCTeX and preview-latex should now be active by default. With Emacs, activation depends on a working `site-start.d' directory or similar setup, since then the startup files `auctex.el' and `preview-latex.el' will have been placed there. If this has not been done, you should be able to load the startup files manually with (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t) in either a site-wide `site-start.el' or your personal startup file (usually accessible as `~/.emacs' from within Emacs and `~/.xemacs/init.el' from within XEmacs). The default configuration of AUCTeX is probably not the best fit for Windows systems. You might want to additionally use (require 'tex-mik) or (require 'tex-fptex) in order to get more appropriate values for MikTeX and fpTeX, respectively. You can always use M-x customize-group RET AUCTeX RET in order to customize more stuff, or use the `Customize' menu. Thanks for this. I actually installed AUCTeX using the Tools>Packages menu, so never saw any INSTALL.windows instructions. I accept the RTFM advice however. (require 'tex-mik) took me a lot of the way and Ralf Angeli's code allowed me to add a command to use dvipdfm. I added another command to fire up Acroread to view the resulting pdf file by modifying Ralf's command to be: "AcroRd32 %s.pdf" TeX-run-shell in the obvious place. Actually I would like to be able to do a number of steps in one: for example, to run dvipdfm and fire up Acroread on it, or to run dvips and ps2pdf say for a prosper file. Any suggestions for this problem? Alternatively I would be happy (perhaps happier) with keyboard commands in the manner of C-c C-c for running LaTeX. I have absolutely no clue how to do such a thing though. Any pointers gratefully received.
