Implementing Reiner's original change as a customization fixes everything. After reading through the various AucTeX files trying to figure out what was going on, for some reason it never occurred to me to customize to solve the problem, and so I didn't pick up on that from Reiner's suggestion. Also, to be honest, I didn't really understand tex-source-specials-mode (for my purposes it suffices to leave specials on all the time) so I didn't understand the greater ramifications you mentioned. But now that I see how it works and how easily it adapts to different systems, my admiration for AucTeX and Emacs is all the greater. Thanks! Bob
