I followed the instructions for using "customize" to do this, but I didn't 
do anything else, since the "Theorem and Axiom" section said "To do the 
same configuration with `customize', you need to click on the `[INS]' 
button twice to create two templates and fill them in like this: ...", and 
I took that to mean this included the mode hook part.

Since I don't know lisp, I only use the "customize" way, and don't know 
how to translate the lisp instructions for adding the mode hook into 
"customize" instructions.  The Latex Mode Hook group only has a text box 
without choices, so I'm not sure what to enter.  I assume this is 
the right place to be working, though, right?

Thanks,
