The Unix manual entry for TeX says: The e response to TeX's error prompt causes the vi editor to start up at the current line of the current file. There is an environment variable, TEXEDIT, that can be used to change the editor used. It should contain a string with "%s" indicating where the filename goes and "%d" indicating where the decimal linenumber (if any) goes. For example, a TEXEDIT string for (Gosling's) emacs can be set by: setenv TEXEDIT "/usr/local/bin/emacs -l/usr/lib/tex/tex- start -estartline %d %s" What would the corresponing setting of TEXEDIT be, if you wanted to continue GNU Emacs, editing in the appropriate TeX-buffer (assuming that you are using latex.el)? ; -*- Joachim (email: laubsch@hplabs.hp.com tel: 415-857-7695).

TEXEDIT="/usr/local/bin/emacs +%d %s" Ideally, though, you should be using gnuserv (although you'll probably have to write a shell script with a little elisp to get this to work). -- Darryl Okahata UUCP: {hplabs!, hpcea!, hpfcla!} hpnmd!darrylo Internet: darrylo%hpnmd@hpcea.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
