Hi,

can't reproduce this at GNU Emacs 23.1.92.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 
2.12.0) of 2010-02-19
Suse 10.3

Predictive Version: 0.17.6

Without predictive-mode:

It is bound to \.

(TeX-insert-backslash ARG)

With predictive-mode in this tex-buffer it's the same, may enter a backslash.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Maybe try: C-h m to get some info
