My XEmacs package index shows AUCTeX 1.46 1.46 Basic TeX/LaTeX support. and the variable `AUCTeX-version' is a variable declared in Lisp. -- loaded from "tex" Value: "CVS-1.13" I was confused about my AUCTeX version number, and thats why I suggested for an "About" menu option which shows up to date value of this information. The manual may still belong to an older version. Generally for many program, there is a separation of manual and the installed program; what I mean is that the installed program may be much newer version but the manual might be a very old version. Also, if there is a change of mailing list address and other addresses the about box being internal to the program may indicate that but, the manual being an older version may not show the changed information. Anyway, it was just a suggestion. -- Surendra Singhi http://www.public.asu.edu/~sksinghi/ WHY SHOULD WE SAVE TIGER? Ans: Saving the tiger means saving mankind..
