Actually, the line I suggested is not suitable anyway. I took a look at
groups.google.com, and better is
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'LaTeX-math-mode)
I tried this out on my xemacs (though I normally use GNU emacs) and it
does indeed seem to give the math menu you describe. Let me know if it
doesn't (by email).
