I use something called "Ultra-TeX Mode," written by two guys from the MIT Mathematics Department. It requires a package called "lightning completion" (which can be used for other things, too). Lightning completion can be used for instantaneous completion of commands, file names, etc. It's like typing a TAB key after every character, except that you can do special things and predefine completion sequences... Ultra-TeX mode automatically completes on TeX commands and other special sequences (for example, if you type "...", it will be replaced with "\dots" automatically, etc. It also has special key sequences for commonly used commands. For example, ESC-B generated a "\bf{}" around the point. Finally, there are special commands for special functions, like to bring in a template file. ================================================================== Tom Tatlow "The Question" Work: Digital Equipment Corporation, AI Technology Center tatlow@dash.enet.dec.com (508) 490-8500 Home: 59 Pearl Street, #3, Cambridge, MA 02139 tom@math.mit.edu (617) 876-6216 ==================================================================
