Hi Andreas, thanks for posting this.  I've tried it with GNU Emacs
22.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2007-06-17 on elegiac, modified by Debian, and AUCTeX 11.83.  I haven't
found any problems with it, and is very convenient!  I'd only suggest
showing these lines to the AUCTeX newsgroup for feedback and improvements.


Cheers,
