Thanks a lot. I'll take a look at it. I've just noticed new release of
Auctex became available (a couple of weeks ago actually), so I'm gonna
install and test that one first, then try WcheckMode. And, of course,
thanks for the configuration sample. That will be very helpful. My
knowledge of Lisp is (nil).  :-)
