When I hit '/' I get, at the bottom of my screen: /[ /234=AEO\aceo] ..if I type one of the characters above then some weird control sequence is inserted, otherwise I get the slash character I want. Same thing happens for the " character. It seems to only happen in LaTeX mode, and then only sometimes. I can't figure out when or why, and / & " say they're mapped to self-insert- command and tex-insert-quote, respectively, neither of which should do what I'm seeing, AFAICT. I'm running 23.5 on Mac OS X (from a terminal). I would really appreciate anyone who can point me to the solution. Thank you!
