        To Make Typing Backslashes In Tex-Mode Easier, I Have
	Redefined The Slash Key ("/") To Type A Backslash Using The
	Following Line In Tex-Mode.El:

	     (Define-Key Tex-Mode-Map "/"        'Backslash)

	Where 'Backslash Is Defined By (Fset 'Backslash "\\"). This
	Works Fine. But Trying To Define A Key To Insert A Slash
	Is A Problem. Doing The Obvious Either Leads To Some Sort
	Infinite Regress Error, Or Printing A Backslash, Not A
	Slash. Any Gnu Emacs Wizards Out There With The (Un-
	Doubtedly Simple) Solution?
