Any ideas why that > would be? This sort of reminds me of an old problem with AUCTeX. Use the XEmacs package manager to uninstall AUCTeX. If your user actually needs XEmacs for editing TeX files, fetch the latest XEmacs package from the download page of AUCTeX and install it (it is _not_ distributed by XEmacs). Alternatively, download a pretest version of Emacs for Windows with AUCTeX preinstalled from that download site. It may cause less trouble in the long run. In particular, it is pretty much impossible to get a hold of a robust XEmacs capable of dealing with utf-8 in a painless way. Note that RedHat 8.0 is an old system: it may be worth checking the requirements for AUCTeX with regard to XEmacs versions before trying to update AUCTeX. Similarly, the Cygwin XEmacs you use may be old. I have directed followups to this posting to the group comp.emacs.xemacs which is more appropriate since you are experiencing an XEmacs-only problem. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
