[GNU Emacs Version 18.52]

I do a lot of editing within tex-mode and LaTeX mode, and often have words
that begin with a "\" in my paragraphs.  If such words are at the beginning
of lines, emacs seems not to respond properly to fill-paragraph; I end up
having to delete the backslash, fill-paragraph, then re-insert the "\".
This appears to *not* be a problem in some other modes.

Does this problem reveal gross misunderstanding on my part, or is there
something I can do?  The variable paragraph-start gets reset in tex-mode.el,
which I though promising, but the fill-paragraph doesn't appear to refer to
it (cursory examination, I apologize).

Kevin
