I understand it differently and in fact, if I start a tty, Emacs does not pick up the variable unless it is exported. Regarding the X session: You are probably starting your X session via a display manager. That means you have to set the variable in a file which is evaluated by the display manager. In my case .xsession does the trick. As you already found out .fvwm/config did it for you at least with this particular window manager. > Wouldn't the simple solution be to introduce a variable for the > bibliography databases within AUCTeX?

Then you don't have to set the respective value separately in every application needing it. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
