Auctex is installed (11.83-6). This is a recent (less than two month
old) installation of Debian Lenny ("testing") via netinstall, kept up
to date with snaptic. TeX is via TeXLive.
When a LaTeX document is loaded, XEmacs automatically selects the
following modes: latex-mode, font-lock-mode, auto-fill mode. There
appears to be no such thing as auctex-mode. Turning off
font-lock-mode does not change the behaviour.
As I previously stated, in latex mode, multiple presses of the " key
(which is shift-') result in a pair of left-quotes (``) followed by
pairs of right quotes ('').
What do you mean, "in the same spot"? Each keypress advances the
cursor. Using the cursor-movement keys to back up the cursor does not
produce a " character.
