Re: [AUCTeX] Re: Prompt for master file

[Ian Underwood]

I didn't quite follow Ralf's instructions to the letter after all! I've 
now discovered that provided I

a) open the file with C-x C-f (NOT the menu)

AND

b) open a new (=non-existent) file

it does in fact prompt me for a master file. I knew about b) from the 
documentation, and had a hint about a) from one of Ralf's emails, but by 
the time I learned about a) I'd forgotten about b)!

Thanks again David and Ralf,

Ian
