Hi Thorsten,

you can tell AUCTeX about your environment with these 2 lines:

    (LaTeX-add-environments '("multi" LaTeX-env-item))
    (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list '("multi" . LaTeX-item-argument))

The question is where to put these 2 lines, there are some options (and
.emacs is not my first choice).  How do you define this environment?

Best, Arash
