I started to use xemacs for my latex work because emacs and auctex (at least on slink) has some sort of bug which causes the ``quotation'' marks not to work correctly as soon as you work on a file which already exists. On a tty screen I still use emacs20 because xemacs's behaviour involving the backspace and delete keys is giving me problems in that environment. I would prefer to use emacs all the time if it was not for the auctex problem I am experiencing.
