M-x customize-variable RET TeX-default-mode RET Also, if you don't want to use AUCTeX at all for plain TeX (the advantage over the built-in mode is not as staggering for plain TeX as compared over LaTeX, but probably still there for the job shell stuff), you could use M-x customize-variable RET TeX-modes RET and remove plain-tex-mode from the list, in which case plain TeX will be catered for by Emacs' built-in mode. In short: we have taken pains that in a setup with preconfigured AUCTeX it is easy to get rid of AUCTeX completely or for particular modes, if you really want to. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
