I'm editing a LaTeX file, and want to run an inferior LaTeX on the buffer.
When I do C-c C-b (TeX-buffer), it bombs because it can't find the include
file, which lives in the original directory, not /tmp.

The relevant part of the file looks like:

    \documentstyle{letter}
    \include{macros}

and C-c C-b generates the output:

    cd /tmp/
    latex "#tza26720.tex"
    TeX 2.1, ArborText Apollo version 2.1.0.7
    (//asylum/sys/node_data/tmp/#tza26720.tex
    LaTeX Version 2.09 <9 Mar 1987>
    (//thalia/local/arbortext/inputs/letter.sty
    Document Style 'letter'. Released 5 March 1986
    )
    No file macros.tex.

Is there a way to tell it to get the includes from the source directory
instead of /tmp? Is this a problem with the Abortext port of TeX?

If I set TeX-directory to "." (the current directory) rather than "/tmp/",
then things work OK, but it's a drag having all those temporary files lying
around.

Thanks in advance...
