LaTeX: color for custom macros

Hi,

when writing LaTeX, emacs recognizes a number of built-in
LaTeX commands and colors parts of the text accordingly.

How can I tell it, e.g., to display \fn{whatever} in the
same color as \footnote{whatever}?

TIA,

Albert.

CVS build can't find manual

Building Emacs from CVS (21.3.50.1) on Mac OS X 10.3.2 using Apple's
version of gcc-3.3 (./configure --with-x --without-carbon) results in
an apparently functional application.  However, it can't locate the
manuals.  The return is "info file emacs does not exist."  This was
also the case when I built 21.3.50.1 on OS 10.1.5 and Apple's
gcc-2.95.2 for X11.

Emacs is installed into /usr/local/bin/.  The info files appear to be
in /usr/local/info/, which is perhaps not where Emacs expects them?  I
can of course correct this in my .emacs so that Emacs looks in
/usr/local/info/ but I am curiou sas to why this might have happened
in the firstplace.  Was there something I should have done in
configuring the build that would have prevented this?

It represents ``quote'', I think.

gnuchess & EmacsChess - chess.el

Hi all,

First of all my problem is with chess.el, not gnuchess.  Forgive me if this is 
off topic.  As you have probably surmised, I'm trying to run chess.el (v2.0b3) 
in conjunction with gnuchess (v5.0.4) within Emacs 21.2.1 on MacOS 10.3.2.  The 
instructions provided as comments at the top of chess.el state the following:

;; This program will not play chess against you; it is not a chess 

;; computer.  It can use a chess computer, however, to simulate your 

;; opponent's moves.  This is decided when you choose your opponent. 

;; You must, of course, have that chess computer installed.  See the 

;; top of chess-player.el for more information. 

;; 

;; To just get a chessboard up, put the following in your .emacs file: 

;; 

;;   (add-to-list 'load-list "<the path to Emacs Chess>") 

;; 

;;   (autoload 'chess "chess" "Play a game of chess" t) 

;;

gnuplot mode problem

Hello all,

I have installed the gnuplot mode using apt-get install gnuplot-mode on my
Debian 2.4.23-xfs-acpi kernel to use with Emacs-21.

Then I tried to use it but I could not. The first problem was that when I
visit any *.gp file I get the following eror in Emacs-21:
----
Loading gnuplot...done
gnuplot-mode 0.6.0 -- determining gnuplot version ......
File mode specification error: (file-error "Searching for program" "success"
"")
Fontifying Doming.gp... (regexps............)
File mode specification error: (file-error "Searching for program" "success"
"")
----
I get the same ``File mode specification error'' when I use C-c C-b, which
tries to send the current buffer to gnuplot.

First, I googled the web for the first problem, but I could not get any
useful hits. 

The second problem was that the the completions for keywords did not work. I
found out that this was related to the info file not being installed. To
solve this problem, I tried to read the website of gnuplot mode (http:/
feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/gnuplot-mode/) carefully. Finally
I managed to put the gnuplot.info file in to /usr/info/emacs-21/ as
gnuplot.gz and then edited the file /usr/info/dir to include the menu entry
for gnuplot. Finally I got the info working properly (I tried to official
way of using install-info, but I got the error:

Understood.  But at some time in future I could (unthinkingly) throw a 
.el file into $HOME and probably get undesirable results.  Ultimately 
I'm going to move privhooks.el out of $HOME, probably to some site-lisp 
that's already in load-path.
