Then I cannot help because I don't have Mac OS X. Maybe the people making "plugins" for Emacs on Mac OS X (instead of improving AUCTeX proper) can help you with that. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
