You are right. Thank you for pointing out that.

Indeed. I just pasted a wrong tex file. test_beamer.tex is in my auto directory.

To avoid the "underscores" problem, I write a new tex file "test.tex"
and compile it. "test.el" appears in the auto directory.
**********************
(TeX-add-style-hook "test"
(lambda ()
   (TeX-run-style-hooks
    "latex2e"
    "beamer10"
    "beamer")))
**********************
Then I reopen test.tex. Everything remain the same. I still can't
access the functionality in beamer.el. I don't see something tell me
that beamer.elc is loaded in the *Message* buffer. I think this means
that beamer.elc is not loaded. How to solve this problem?
