Create a file .emacs in your home directory and put in it (among other
things)

	(setq  auto-mode-alist
		'((``\\.tex$'' . TeX-mode))
	)

This command assures that if you load a file *.tex in GNU Emacs buffer
you automatically set TeX-mode for it. Now you have all the special
and useful TeX-mode commands available. Try C-c C-h to see them. There
is also a TeX/LaTeX spell command in it. You can invoke it either as

	M-x tex-spell-buffer
or
	C-c C-s b

The tex-spell-buffer command gives you also the possibility to create
a hashed file of your own special words which are then in the
following spell command invocations not indicated as spell errors.
