autoinsert with TeX/LaTeX

[William Thompson]

I've had the following lines in my .emacs file for a long time.

;  Set Emacs up so that the file "tex-insert.tex" is automatically inserted
;  into any new ".tex" file.

(load "autoinsert")
(setq auto-insert-directory "/usr/local/inputs/")

However, in Emacs 21.2 this doesn't seem to work.  I don't get the file 
/usr/local/inputs/tex-insert.tex inserted into new ".tex" files.  Is there a new 
syntax I should be using?

Thank you,

William Thompson
