In emacs 18.55, documenation for TeX-mode, in the info file there's
the following paragraph:

  In TeX, the character `"' is not normally used; one uses `"'
to start a quotation and `"' to end one.  TeX mode defines the key
`"' to insert `"' after whitespace or an open brace, `"'
after a backslash, or `"' otherwise.  This is done by the command
`TeX-insert-quote'.  If you need the character `"' itself in
unusual contexts, use `C-q' to insert it.  Also, `"' with a
numeric argument always inserts that number of `"' characters.

This doesn't seem to be very useful information ;-).  A few lines
before, in the definition for `"', this is right:

`"'     
     Insert, according to context, either ```' or `"' or
     `''' (`TeX-insert-quote').

This is probably what it should be in the paragraph above, too.  The
current scheme seems very confusing in the info file.
