I understand what you're saying about control, but Yap never takes control away from Emacs. There is a single instance of Yap. I can at any time use either Yap or emacs. I can double-click in yap and be taken to the corresponding spot in the LaTeX source and I can use emacs to communicate with Yap and be taken to the corresponding spot in the dvi file. This communication occurs via Gnuserv. I am using AucTeX exclusively for my emacs interface to all of this. I needed to customize the AucTeX menu items to correspond to my dvi viewer, but it is all AucTex. I hope this is clearer. Thanks for your interest. Bob
