	Here's a hint for using the TeX mode in emacs. Since on the NeXT, 
the tex option -v will pass the dvi file to the previewer(TeXView), 
then by editing the emacs lisp file this can be done automatically from 
within emacs (in TeX-mode), even when compiling a region with C-c C-r. 
Here's how--
	
 Change the emacs .el file for TeX (/usr/lib/emacs/lisp/tex-mode.el) 
by adding the "-v" option to the file commands corresponding to 
"TeX-command".  That is, search for the string "TeX-command" and 
change 'tex' to 'tex -v' and 'latex' to 'latex -v'. The .elc (compiled file) 
may be obtained by going into the directory as su, and invoking emacs. 
Then use the command "M-x byte-compile-file" and give the file name 
(tex-mode.el) at the prompt. (As usual, it is wise to save copies of 
these files first, before working on them as su.)
