Hello, everyone, I like emacs tex-mode to have following capabilities: . have a TeX-view function so that one can preview .dvi file by using appropriate command specified by TeX-view-command var.(I add this to my own tex-mode.el by following TeX-print, even though I'm lisp-illiterate :-) . Have a TeX-tmp directory in addition to TeX-directory, so that TeX working directory is default-directory, but tmp files(#tz*) are created in the tmp-dir.(Of course a user can specify his preference using mode-hook). This way TeX-mode can work correctly even if the working TeX-file have inputs from other subdirectories. I tried to hack this out on my own, but my lisp-illiteracy presents quite a big challenge to me in adding a TeX-tmp directory. After working for 10 min., I guess that maybe the net could help. Does anyone care to fix this ? Thank you for your help. -- Jun P.S. I did manage to set the TeX-directory to the current default-directoy. But I don't like to see those tmp files(#tz*) there. I prefer to put them the directory specified by an var(say TeX-tmp). -- -- Jun Lu Internet:luj@ecn.purdue.edu -- -- Aeronautics & Astronautics Bitnet: luj%ecn.purdue.edu@purccvm -- -- Purdue University UUCP: pur-ee!luj -- -- W.
