no indeed ;-) and problems with AUCTeX most of the time
boil down to my config, hence at least I have a starting
point todebug them...

ah... I was almost there, but feared the cause was in compiled
custom set-up in the Emacs binary I use; in retrospect I should
have examined tex-jp.el (sounds obvious now...)

I had tried with only "Index" and knew that something additional
was needed for the process to work without error.

Thanks for this as I now know which entries are really needed
(before AUCTeX incorporates your patch available on git repo)

I am aware of that. But I am uneasy with having my most used
entries relegated to the bottom of the list, where in fact they
don't even show on my 11" screen and I need to move the mouse
down.

I had no use (having no printer) for Print and Queue entries, and
had no use either for BibTeX, Biber, Index, or the Spell-Check, I
don't use AmsTeX nor ConTeXt (I know they show only when needed)
(moreover I more and more use Latexmk, but actually in those cases
I launch compilation process from a Makefile) further I needed my
own customized File or ps2pdf, and often I need to go via
latex+dvipdfmx not on the current file (.dtx) but on a .tex file
associated with it, (and I don't want any additional mark-up to
the .dtx) etc... hence I have plenty of reasons to need to
customize TeX-command-list

(I also needed at some point back in time to fix sync things with
xdvi on mac os or Skim.app (or Okular on Linux), as things were
not working out of the box for me, but I have forgotten the
details).


I had the normal "BibTeX" entry like this

 ("BibTeX" "bibtex %s" TeX-run-BibTeX nil t :help "Run BibTeX")
     
but was lacking the "Index" entry.

Was "Biber" not required ? well I will check out by myself.

Thanks for having gotten to the bottom of this,

Best,

Jean-François
