 [Why the `compile' function doesn't appear to work with TeX]

Another option is to use the following environment variable,

setenv TEXEDIT "gnuemacs -l tex-start -e startline %d %s"

Having done this, typing 'e' at the TeX error message '?' will open up a
*new* emacs process and put you at the unpleasant line.  

It's not as useful as I would like it to be, since I'm not put back into
the TeX interactive session in exiting from emacs.  There must be a way
around that, but I have no idea how.  

Hope this helps.  Enjoy.
