Heresy! It's not the True One Editor (just kidding)!

In  XEmacs like  in  Emacs you  should  tell somewhere  Emacs to  load
automatically  a certain  mode for  a certain  type (better:  name) of
file.

Something like this:

(autoload 'latex-mode "latex-mode" "LaTeX Mode" t)

Then some other code to turn on LaTeX automatically:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.tex$" . latex-mode) auto-mode-alist))

;; This adds the association between latex-mode and the files ending by .tex to
;; the lists of mode to be turned out automatically.
