If you use GNU Emacs, there is a special BibTeX mode. try

	M-x load-lib bibtex
	

and then visit a .bib file. If it doesn't come up in BibTeX mode,
first see you site administrator, and then type

	M-x bibtex-mode

"C-h m" will, as usual, give you information on special commands
available for BibTeX mode.
