I just started using LaTeX, and I really like the LaTeX mode on
GNU-Emacs.  (How does it know whether I'm using LaTeX or plain
TeX, anyhow?)

I have a slight minor neglible problem, though, which is that when
I auto-fill in either TeX or LaTeX mode, the \ (space) that I use
in places like "Learning \LaTeX\ is neat" is not protected if it
ends a line.  Is there a simple hack to LaTeX mode to make that
terminal \ (space) construct safe from being auto-filled away?

Yes, I realize this is precisely what you don't want in 95% of the
times a UNIX user has a \ at the end of a line.  But in TeX it
appears to be what I want.
